Inpatient or outpatient treatment for drug addiction?

Question by KayleaF: Inpatient or outpatient treatment for drug addiction?
For a heroin addiction, is rehab more effective to get clean than any outpatient treatment?

Best answer:

Answer by Brigette
Yes it is a must, the withdrawals symptoms from heroin happens because the body stops producing serotonin and they usually feel severe physical pain. Naltroxene is used to treat heroin withdrawal.
Besides of that addiction is a whole wide area people often need help controlling their addictive personality, they often tend to self destruct when under severe stress, often heroin addicts when abstaining from heroin, and have gone through treatment, they turn to other drugs after.

Addiction need to be treated at a therapeutic level so in-treatment and after outpatient treatment is necessary such as Narcotics anonymous which is a support group for people who have seized using. They often are prescribed medication after rehabilitation for periods of time. It is hard to treat and often they relapse up to 6 or 7 times. Drug addiction is dangerous and it kills.

Working in drug/addiction rehab centers?

Question by Ruby Alice Love: Working in drug/addiction rehab centers?
I’m currently a human development and family studies major but I have an undecided minor. I personally would like to be the one who’s in direct contact with patients during their withdrawal phases and being able to monitor them. I’m pretty sure that’s vague, but what job title is that specifically? In order to pursue this career would a biology minor benefit me more, would I need to go to medical school, what about grad school?

If it means anything I go to school in Nevada and I’d greatly appreciate some input and opinions.

Answer by drslowpoke
Actually, your question has a few answers and is more complex than you might have thought.

If you want close patient contact with a few patients, then you might consider nursing. In some cases, EMT’s are hired to monitor patients during withdrawal or recovery. This is a rather unglamorous job, and is on the low end of the scale. It can also be the most physically demanding. There are several levels here. The lowest is doing just patient contact. Higher levels will supervise the contact and intervene with their skills on an as needed basis (such as administering prescribed medications).

If you would like to work with a lot of patients, but on a more limited basis for each one, then working as a drug counselor, therapist, or something like a social worker would be the ticket. This is easier physically, but you end up with more responsibility overall.

If you want to work with even more patients, but only on a very limited basis for each one, then you might consider being a physician with an emphasis on drug treatments. Again, this can be physically demanding, but you also get paid better.

The upshot of all this is that you have quite a range of positions to choose from. Your current coursework puts you squarely in the middle of the positions for now.

Your reaction to Matt Hardy being told to go to rehab?

Question by “Jim Crockett Promotions Fan”: Your reaction to Matt Hardy being told to go to rehab?
Former WWE and TNA wrestler Matt Hardy was essentially told by authorities in North Carolina to attend rehab or face a tough legal situation following three arrests in the span of one month. Hardy will still have to face charges stemming from his third recent arrest, which was for drug possession, after he attends rehab.

“That is only part of the release order,” said Moore County District Attorney Maureen Krueger to The Pilot newspaper. “It also states that he must comply with a treatment program or be placed in the detention center under a $ 1 million bond.”

According to the report, when Hardy was released to attend rehab, he agreed to a “promise to appear” on the drug charges since the release was tied to him entering rehab for substance abuse.

Hardy’s third arrest followed a search of his home on September 14 that yielded steroids, ecstasy, prescription drugs, and cash. Hardy was charged with possessing a controlled substance with intent to sell or deliver, possessing a controlled substance, maintaining a dwelling for use of drugs, and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.
