Facts
- The drugging of children with Ritalin, another highly addictive central nervous system stimulant, continues with increasing regularity and controversy with Ritalin use nearing a world record. In the United States, usage of Ritalin increased an estimated 70% between 1990 and 1998. Is it a question of "hook" them young and they are customers for life to addictive prescription drugs including tranquillizers, sleeping pills and anti-depressants?
- In 2007, Purdue Pharma was fined over $600 million for misrepresenting OxyContin.
- Prescription forgery is fairly common, either by altering the prescriptions, stealing blank prescription pads in order to write fake prescriptions, or calling pharmacies for prescriptions without authorization from the physician.
- All prescription drugs present some form of risk when abused. When a doctor prescribes a medication they do so by taking into account the individuals personal information. A person who abuses their own medication or someone who takes another person's medication is putting themselves in danger.
Inpatient hospitalization programs in Housatonic are a kind of drug rehabilitation facility which delivers treatment in a hospital setting where the treatment process can be supervised by medical staff and addiction professionals. As is often the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal, it is sometimes necessary for the person to be in an inpatient hospitalization program during the withdrawal process because the withdrawal symptoms can be life threatening. Inpatient hospitalization programs are also an option for those in Housatonic who wish to undergo medication assisted withdrawal, which is primarily used in the case of illicit opiate or prescription pain reliever addiction. Most people in Housatonic who choose this treatment route however and don't continue on with further intensive treatment typically have very high rates of relapse. In either case, individuals should follow up detox with an intensive rehabilitation program either in inpatient hospitalization or in some other drug treatment program.
