Facts
- Many addicted individuals misuse their outpatient methadone maintenance program, and take less than a blocking dose of 80 mg. so that they will be able to "feel it" if they combine their methadone dose with other drugs such as heroin.
- Salvia sits on the shelves right along with other legal drugs such as bath salts that use chemical addictives to mimic the effects of other illegal drugs.
- White wine and clear liquors such as rum, vodka and gin have fewer toxins and tend to cause less frequent and less severe hangovers than darker varieties of alcohol.
- Physical dependence to amphetamine occurs when the body has adapted to the presence of these drugs, and withdrawal symptoms occur if its use is stopped abruptly.
Hospital Inpatient - Woodbourne, New YorkA person who is heavily addicted to drugs or alcohol will benefit greatly by receiving treatment from a hospital inpatient program. These types of programs are geared towards physical health, mental health and medical stabilization. Recovering persons will have access to medication as well as medical staff around the clock. While not every drug addict needs this level of care, it is helpful to those who have serious physical addiction problems to drugs or alcohol. Hospital inpatient programs often last several days to several weeks. Once the inpatient portion of their treatment plan is complete they may choose to participate at a sober living setting or transfer into an outpatient program.
