Facts

  • Sharing heroin snorting straws can result in hepatitis transmission.
  • 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.
  • Because central nervous system depressants work by slowing the brain's activity, when an individual stops taking the drug this activity can rebound and as part of withdrawal seizures can occur.
  • The largest concentration of crack users in the U.S. are African-American males between the ages of 18 and 30 who come from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

West Mifflin, PA. - Adolescents

As a parent or caregiver the thought of enrolling your child into a drug treatment facility can be overwhelming and frightening. Sadly, just like adults, adolescents become addicted to drugs and alcohol and need professional help in order to stop using. Due to their young age it is not an option for them to attend a traditional drug rehabilitation center. Many specialized and age appropriate drug addiction treatment facilities have been developed to focus on adolescents and their distinct needs pertaining to substance abuse recovery. Treatment professionals who are skilled in youth counseling and therapy are able to work with your adolescent child and guide them through their recovery process.
