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.
  • Intravenous Lortab users expose themselves to risks such as contracting HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), hepatitis B and C, and other blood-borne viruses.
  • Studies indicate that women start to have alcohol-related problems at lower drinking levels than men do, partly because women weigh less than men.
  • When combining Vicodin with other substances such as alcohol, cocaine, amphetamines, methylphenidate, benzodiazapines, barbiturates, and other medications the risk of overdose is much higher.

Pregnant/Postpartum Women - Youngstown, OH.

Today, there are drug and alcohol rehab facilities that are designed to focus on specific drug addicted groups such as pregnant/postpartum women. These rehab programs cater to the needs of their clients and they address specific issues that are unique just to them. Rehabilitation programs for pregnant/postpartum women often provide individualized programs that incorporate a fair amount of flexibility into their treatment protocol. This ensures that the client's specific needs are addressed while maintaining close medical supervision. Many life skills are also incorporated into facilities designed for pregnant/postpartum women. The most successful pregnant/postpartum rehabilitation facilities 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.
