Facts
- While a person who abuses prescription drugs expects specific effects to take place they may not anticipate the side effects of the drug they have taken. If they take OxyContin they know it will stop any pain and create a sense of euphoria. They may not factor in that it also causes extreme drowsiness and slows their breathing; possibility to the point of death.
- Adolescents, young adults, and college students who become involved in prescription drug abuse show higher rates of cigarette smoking, binge drinking, and marijuana, cocaine, and other illicit drug use.
- About 270 Southwest Virginia residents died from drug overdoses in 2010, more than three times the rate of the 1990s when the prescription pain killer epidemic began.
- The prescription opioid OxyContin is used to treat moderate to severe pain through a slow, steady release of the drug. Individuals who use it recreationally may snort or inject it which can increase their risk for serious medical complications, including overdose.
Detoxification services are available for people in Bowdoinham who want help coming off of drugs, which can be very challenging when the person has become physically and/or psychologically addicted to a drug or to alcohol. One of the reasons addicts find it difficult to quit using drugs is because of the discomfort they must endure to detox on their own. Many physical and mental discomforts come with this process because the body begins to go through drug and/or alcohol withdrawal, the symptoms of which can range from flu like symptoms to severe depression and anxiety. In a professional Bowdoinham, Maine detox facility, detoxification services help the individual undergo this process as safely as possible and provide the needed physical and emotional support to get the person through detox without relapsing. Detoxification services are not full rehabilitation, but merely the first step of an extensive drug rehabilitation center that will further address root addiction issues so that the person can remain clean and sober for the long term.
