  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Heroin is derived from morphine and usually appears as a white or brown powder or as a black, sticky substance.
  • Being of similar structure, the opiate molecules occupy many of the same nerve-receptor sites and bring on the same analgesic effect as the body's natural painkillers.
  • A 2006 analysis of Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs in the U.S. concluded that these programs are associated with lower rates of substance abuse treatment admissions.
  • The Office of National Drug Control Policy opposes making naloxone widely available, because they do not want the opioid antidote to be handled by non-medical professionals.
  • According to some of the most recent government statistics, heroin and morphine use have accounted for over half of all of the drug overdose deaths in the U.S. over the past decade.

Hospital Inpatient Programs

Hospital inpatient drug treatment is carried out in a hospital setting and is supervised by doctors and other medical staff. Hospital inpatient treatment is sometimes necessary in the beginning stages of abstinence when the client may experience the onset of life threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is sometimes the case when quitting alcohol as well as a category of prescription drugs known as benzodiazepines which should be supervised very carefully by medical professionals in case of any complications. Hospital inpatient treatment is also delivered to individuals who desire a medication assisted withdrawal, as is the case with opiate addicted individuals who wish to use this type of detoxification approach to manage the severe withdrawal symptoms associated with heroin or other opiate withdrawal. This type of opiate detox is not considered full rehabilitation and these individuals will need further counseling and therapy to completely recover from addiction.
