Facts
- Methadone used in opiate maintenance therapy was originally developed to help obliterate withdrawal symptoms and support a healthy lifestyle. However, the effects of withdrawal far exceed that of heroin which causes the individual to become addicted to it instead.
- Unlike other drug of abuse such as cocaine and heroin, methamphetamine is produced using common household chemicals and is a man-made drug.
- One recent study of heterosexual men found that recent methamphetamine use is associated with high-risk sexual behaviors, including anal intercourse, sex with an injection drug user, and casual sex with an anonymous female partner.
- The morning after an alcohol binge, the body's organs try to make up for their own water loss by taking it from the brain causing the brain to decrease in size and pull on the membranes that connect the brain to the skull, resulting in pain.
Franklin Springs - Other LanguagesWhile searching for a drug rehab facility can seem like a difficult task, finding one that provides services for other languages is an added challenge. However, these days many programs employ staff members who are bilingual. When you have discovered a rehab program that meets your needs, speak to their staff about the likelihood of providing their services other languages during treatment. Even though they may not initially have the capability to provide their services in other languages they might be able to find a way to accommodate your needs. Often the facility will do its best to rise to the occasion and see what is available to help their clients.
