Facts
- Some people choose to go through OxyContin withdrawal by using a substitute opiate, often methadone or suboxone. This method of withdrawal is simply replacing one drug for another. In the long run the addict will have to go through withdrawal yet again to get off of the substitute opiate.
- The trends in Maine which reflect a decline in nonmedical use of prescription drugs and a rise in rates of heroin abuse coincides with the recent state-mandated limits on the use of the most effective prescription drugs used in the treatment of opiate addiction.
- People on Medicaid are at six times the risk of prescription painkiller overdose than those who are not on Medicaid.
- The number of teens and young adults (ages 12 to 25) who were new abusers of prescription painkillers grew from 400,000 in the mid-.80s to 2 million in 2000, according to a study by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
Transitional housing is a very useful resource for recovering individuals in Iona who have completed a drug or alcohol treatment program but still require time to fully re-acclimate to normal life and the real world. To a person who has abused drugs or alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can feel like a daunting place now that he or she has to get through life without alcohol or drugs. Transitional housing in Iona supplies a safe atmosphere where those who are in this phase of the drug rehab process can little by little grow to be at ease with the idea of restoring 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 steady employment and housing so that they have a good chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a fruitful and happy life.
