Facts

  • Opioids are the most common category of prescription drugs abused in the U.S., comprising about 75 percent of the prescription drug abuse problem.
  • One treatment approach that is used for managing opiate withdrawal is to treat the symptoms of the withdrawal with appropriate medication. Clondine, an antihypertensive drug, is sometimes used to reduce muscle pain and cramping.
  • The active ingredient in drinking alcohol is ethanol or ethyl alcohol, which is considered to be a sedative and affects the brain the same way as other sedative-hypnotic drugs, like Valium and barbiturates.
  • Risks associated with Ativan withdrawal including grand mal seizures and death show that use of the drug should be discontinued very slowly with medical supervision and over a prolonged period of time.
