Facts
- The rate of current marijuana use among American youth aged 12 to 17 has been increasing in recent years and in 2009 was 7.3, and rose again to 7.4 percent in 2010.
- Individuals who use opiates such as morphine, hydromorphone, or oxycodone may experience withdrawal symptoms within six to 12 hours of the last dose.
- Rapid opiate detoxification to treat opiate withdrawal can be performed in a hospital or private clinic setting using a drug such as Naltrexone, an opiate antagonist that blocks opiate receptors and reverses the effects of opiates. Clonidine is administered at the same time to ease the symptoms of withdrawal.
- Withdrawal from certain drugs such as benzodiazepines or alcohol can be fatal and therefore the abrupt discontinuation of any type of drug is not recommended.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
People who are physically reliant to drugs or alcohol and want help will initially go through detoxification before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is simply the procedure of the drug being eliminated from one's system, which is typically uncomfortable and may hold risks if not conducted in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as necessary. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detox facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can appropriately oversee and supply medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services often include insuring the person is as relaxed as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, providing proper nutrition and making certain the person is getting proper rest, and providing supplements and medicine as required to make the detox process as easy 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 rehab facility which can present detox services, the client will have detox staff at their disposal around the clock to make sure that any difficulties are resolved as rapidly and safely as possible.
