  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • During the 1960s PCP was widely abused until users became unhappy with the long delay between taking the drug and feeling its effects, and with the unpredictable and often violent behavior which often occurred with its use.
  • Alcohol depresses body functions that play a key role in involuntary actions such as breathing and the gag reflex which prevents choking. A fatal dose of alcohol will eventually stop these functions.
  • Females who use anabolic steroids over an extended period of time can begin to have serious problems with their menstrual cycles due to the fact that these drugs disrupt the maturation and the release of eggs from the ovaries.
  • Ambien users who use the drug over an extended period of time are more likely to experience severe withdrawal symptoms including seizures.
  • Aside from marijuana and alcohol, prescription and over-the-counter drugs are the most commonly abused drugs among individuals aged 14 and older in the U.S.

Outpatient Treatment

Drug or alcohol treatment programs which are provided on an outpatient basis are available to addicted individuals who have circumstances which prevent them from being able to take part in an inpatient treatment facility. An outpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility provides many of the same services as an inpatient program, but allows for flexibility as opposed to an inpatient drug rehab facility where the person is expected to remain at the rehab center until treatment is complete. Outpatient drug or alcohol treatment is also available for those who have completed residential or inpatient treatment but also need a comprehensive aftercare and relapse prevention program which will offer additional support and therapy to help them remain clean and sober.

Specialized in Hearing Impaired Clients

People can become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap, disability or personal physical challenge. This sometimes makes individuals particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in substance abuse, because of the varying challenges that this can bring about in the individual's life. This is true for those people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for substance abuse and addiction is sometimes required. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will need ASL or other assistance as part of their treatment needs, and there are drug rehab facilities available which provide these services. Professional treatment counselors who know ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers.
