Facts

  • Outlaw motorcycle clubs like the Hells Angels first controlled the illegal production of methamphetamine in the U.S., although production and distribution of the drug is now mainly controlled by Mexican criminal organizations.
  • Long term chronic abuse of alcohol, especially when combined with poor nutrition, can lead to permanent damage to vital organs such as the brain and liver.
  • On rare occasions, sudden death can occur on the first use of cocaine or unexpectedly thereafter. However, there is no way to determine who is prone to sudden death.
  • Withdrawal symptoms from Oxycontin are similar to that of many opiate-based drugs such as heroin, morphine, Dilaudid, methadone, and codeine.

Detoxification - Swarthmore

Men and women who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want help will first go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detox is simply the process of the drug being eradicated from one's system, which is usually uncomfortable and may carry risks if not executed in a setting which can supply appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are provided at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehab facility which can effectively oversee and supply medical supervision for persons who are just coming off of drugs. Detox services frequently include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, offering proper nutrition and making certain the person is receiving proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as needed to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The particular person in detoxification will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some kind of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehabilitation facility which can supply detox services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any problems are fixed as rapidly and safely as possible.
