Facts
- A person who is addicted to prescription drugs may go to get lengths to obtain the medication they have become dependent on. This may involve breaking the law if they deem it necessary.
- In a study from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health from 2006-2008, of more than 55,000 young men and women aged 18 to 25, around 12% stated they had abused prescription opioid drugs. In this group, 34% used marijuana, 56% smoked cigarettes and 57% used alcohol.
- When Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs) are used, swift regulatory action can be taken against health care providers acting outside the limits of accepted medical practice. This will decrease provider behaviors that contribute to prescription painkiller abuse, diversion, and overdose.
- Some people who abuse Desoxyn, prescription meth, suffer rhabdomyolysis (damage to skeletal muscle where the tissue breaks down).
Transitional housing is a very beneficial resource for people in Old Orchard Beach who have completed a drug rehab program but still need time to completely re-adjust to regular life and the real world. For someone who has abused drugs or alcohol to self medicate and especially for long term addicts, the world can feel like a formidable place now that he or she has to get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Old Orchard Beach offers a safe atmosphere where those who are in this phase of the drug rehabilitation process can slowly grow to be at ease with the process of rebuilding their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing those in recovery can continue to participate in individualized and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to obtain stable employment and housing so that they have a good shot at remaining abstinent and being to lead a productive and happy life.
