Facts

  • Of the nearly 2 million substance abuse treatment admissions reported to State administrative data systems in 2008, 60 percent of admissions were White, 21 percent were African-American, and 14 percent were Hispanic or Latino.
  • Alcohol withdrawal should be undergone at an inpatient drug treatment facility where the individual can be given fluids or medications through an IV.
  • Serious alcohol withdrawal can produce delirium tremens (DTs) which involves profound confusion, hallucinations, and severe autonomic nervous system over-activity.
  • When the brain is given a dose of fentanyl, it raises the levels of certain chemicals in the brain that trigger a state of euphoria and relaxation which is why it is sometimes abused to get high.

Stamford - Detoxification

Men and women who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detoxification before receiving other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is basically the process of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may carry risks if not carried out in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are supplied at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug treatment facility which can adequately oversee and present medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services typically include insuring the client is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and ensuring the person is getting proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as necessary to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The individual in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some form of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detoxification facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can supply detox services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to ensure that any complications are handled as rapidly and safely as possible.
