Drug Addiction Facts

  • Most heroin addicts use the drug an average of three to four times per day.
  • Fentanyl use has been known to cause aphasia, which is a sudden inability to speak or comprehend words usually resulting from brain damage.
  • Codeine is often prescribed in the form of syrup to treat the common cough, and "Purple Drank" is a slang term for codeine cough syrup which is combined with Sprite or Mountain Dew and pieces of Jolly Rancher candy for illicit abuse. The concoction takes on a purplish hue, hence the name Purple Drank.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients get into rehabilitation as part of a court order to satisfy part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug treatment often receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when cooperating with drug and alcohol rehab requirements enforced on them in sentencing and particularly of course when successfully completing a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs possess the staff or wherewithal to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clients, but thankfully there are more and more centers that are able to do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than previously. Counselling, study information and the like are now very often accessible in Spanish in both short and long terms centers which deliver inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish treatment is also available around the country.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present any other kind of private health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation center that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab center.
