Facts
- Prescription drug abuse and addiction is a pattern of repeated drug taking that usually results in tolerance (the need for greater amounts of the drug to achieve the same effect), withdrawal (physical and cognitive effects when drug use declines or stops), and compulsive drug taking behavior (drug taking that persists despite efforts to reduce intake and despite problems with family, friends, and work).
- In South Carolina, a resilient attempt was made by Purdue Pharma to overturn the state's requirement of prior approval before Medicaid recipients can receive OxyContin.
- In 2010, pharmacies in the U.S. received and dispensed approximately 69 tons of pure oxycodone and 42 tons of pure hydrocodone.
- In 2007 nearly 28,000 individuals in the U.S. died from unintentional drug poisoning, around 12,000 of which involved prescription pain relievers.
Inpatient hospitalization programs in Westerly are a type of drug rehab program which delivers treatment in a hospital setting where the treatment process can be administered by medical staff and addiction professionals. As is typically the case with alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal, it is sometimes vital 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 Westerly, Rhode Island who wish to undergo medication assisted withdrawal, which is typically used in the case of prescription pain reliever and illicit opiate addiction. Most individuals in Westerly who receive this treatment method however and don't follow up with further drug rehab have extremely high rates of relapse. In either case, addicted individuals should follow up detox with an in depth treatment program either in inpatient hospitalization or in some other drug treatment facility.
