Facts
- It is said that even a low dose of the prescription painkiller Opana will give the user an intense high through insufflation (snorting) of the drug.
- The CDC suggests that Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs) focus on the numbers of prescriptions for controlled substances.
- When taken as prescribed, OxyContin is an effective pain reliever. However, when crushed and snorted or injected, the drug produces a quick and powerful "high" that some abusers compare to the feeling they get when doing heroin.
- In 2007, the Drug Enforcement Administration found that abuse of the prescription painkiller drug Fentanyl killed more than 1,000 people that year in the US. It is thirty to fifty times more powerful than heroin.
Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Assonet are usually delivered in a residential or inpatient setting for a period of 30 days or less. While long term drug treatment requires at least a 90 day stay and a much more demanding course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the individual rehabilitated through detoxification in conjunction with a short course of therapy and counseling to lightly address emotional addiction issues. Because it usually takes several weeks if not months to completely address everything which might hang the person up and cause relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be adequate for those in Assonet who have a truedependence and addiction to drugs and alcohol.
