Facts
- Most opiate addicted individuals are no longer capable of holding down a job which often leads to loss of health insurance coverage. Diseases and conditions that develop as a result of opiate addiction are therefore often paid for through public funds because these individuals cannot pay for their own treatment.
- Antidepressant withdrawal can occur in individuals after abrupt discontinuation of an antidepressant medication that was taken for at least six weeks.
- It is common for law enforcement agencies to come across illicitly produced fentanyl in their day to day operations and seizures.
- PCP was first administered as an IV anesthetic during medical procedures, but was never approved for human use because of problems during clinical studies, including intensely negative psychological effects.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Today, there are drug and alcohol treatment centers that are designed to focus on specific drug addicted groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These rehab programs are specifically tailored to the needs of their clients and they address specific issues that are unique just to them. Treatment centers for pregnant/postpartum women commonly provide individualized programs that incorporate a good amount of flexibility into their treatment schedule. This ensures that the client's specific needs are met while maintaining close medical supervision. Many life skills and coping skills are also incorporated into facilities designed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most successful pregnant/postpartum rehab centers have integrated "household" chores (cleaning, cooking, etc.) into their curriculum so that taking care of their babies and small children goes more smoothly once they leave treatment.
