The Benefits of Methadone Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder

Image
Originally posted on  Pinnacle Treatment Centers Methadone Treatment Included in the opiate analgesics class of medication, methadone is a medicine that is used to manage severe pain in individuals who cannot be treated with other milder medication. It usually comes in a tablet, liquid, or wafer foam and is mostly prescribed to be taken by mouth every 8 to 12 hours. Methadone has the potential to form an addiction, and hence, you should seek the guidance of a professional in taking it to relieve severe pain. Make sure to never take larger doses in such cases: instead, take it more frequently or take it for a longer length of time. If you or your family member has had addiction issues with alcohol, street drugs, or prescription painkillers, make sure that you communicate this to your doctor before you receive methadone treatment. Individuals with these issues are more at risk of overdosing on methadone and, thus, should enlighten their practitioners on it. Although methadone is...

Our world has changed so much in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, and, even with easing restrictions, there is no certainty that it will return to normal any time soon. Every one of us has experienced the loss of our sense of personal safety, social connection, personal freedom and control over our lives. Far too many of us face the loss of financial security – our job, our career, our business, our retirement savings, to say nothing of colleagues and loved ones. These losses are bound to have an effect on our emotional and mental health. Grief is a normal and healthy reaction to loss. There is a misconception that grief must be reserved for death or the loss of something that is somehow “worthy” of being grie...

What are Drug Rehabs and How to Locate the Best One?

Image
Originally posted on  Pinnacle Treatment Centers Drug Rehab Near Me Drug rehabs are centers that provide programs, therapies, and counseling that is aimed at treating a specific addiction. The issue could be  drug abuse ,  alcohol use disorder , or  Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) , and the rehab treatment/programs will differ based on the condition treated. Drug rehabs provide individuals with drug addiction, the hope, assistance, and care they need to overcome their disease and make positive changes in their lives by adapting their behaviors. Individuals will gain the opportunity to learn about healthy coping skills, impulse control, emotional regulation skills, and drug refusal strategies that will benefit them in refraining from the addiction. However, for a drug rehab center or program to be useful, the individual should have the desire to change his/her way of living and should take efforts to follow the program to completion successfully. As you take on the brav...

Opioid Addiction Symptoms: The Face of an Epidemic

Image
    Originally posted on  Pinnacle Treatment Centers By Brian N. Talleur, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Aegis Treatment Centers, a Pinnacle Treatment Center Network Opioid abuse has become an epidemic. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), data from 2018 revealed that  every day 128 people in the United States alone die from an overdose on opioids . Not only are these deaths tragic and heartbreaking but many of these people leave behind spouses, children, parents, siblings, and friends who suffer indefinitely from the loss. Addiction impacts more than just the person with the  substance use disorder (SUD) . According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the estimated cost in the United States for opioid misuse is around $78.5 billion dollars. This includes costs for healthcare, addiction treatment, institutions, the criminal justice system, and more. And the economic burden continues to rise as do the overdose rates. ...

LA Injury Group Asks Drivers to Be Careful as Emptier Streets Lead to Higher Speeds

LOS ANGELES, April 27, 2020 – The LA Injury Group, with a Los Angeles personal injury lawyer team, recommends that drivers obey all speed limits regardless of how much traffic is on the road in Southern California. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, people drive less frequently, leading to less traffic. In turn, drivers are driving at faster and faster speeds. Recently, “Car and Driver” Magazine reported a 48% increase in average Los Angeles car speeds. This has led to car accidents that have gravely injured drivers and passengers. As the COVID-19 pandemic has put a strain on healthcare resources, that can make it much more difficult for injured parties to receive the proper care. The California Highway Patrol has given out more speeding tickets to people driving that much faster. For example, from March 19, 2020 to April 19, 2020, the California Highway Patrol gave out 2,493 tickets for speeding more than 100 mph. During that period last year, the number of tickets written was 1,335. ...

Is Drug Addiction a Disease?

Image
Originally posted on  Pinnacle Treatment Centers Drug addiction, drug abuse, substance abuse, and  substance use disorder  are all terms which are oftentimes used to describe or define the same thing. And often with these terms come long-standing stigmas surrounding anyone who is labeled as suffering from drug addiction. Addiction, including  drug addiction , is a multifaceted issue that impacts people from all walks of life. Addiction is said not to discriminate and study upon study has found this to be true. While there are trends amongst those with substance use disorders (SUDs) or drug addictions, addiction to drugs or alcohol can affect anyone. Individuals from all genders, education levels, family backgrounds, socio-economic levels, occupations, etc. have all found themselves in the  grips of drug addiction . One of the most commonly misunderstood aspects of addiction is the conception that the person with the problem lacks the morals or willpower to q...

Eleanor Health is Increasing Virtual Addiction Recovery Groups in Response to COVID19 and Social Distancing

Originally posted on Eleanor Health For almost every type of addiction treatment and aftercare program, peer groups are an essential part of the overall recovery journey. Groups help to break down feelings of isolation and reduce the risk of relapse. By meeting together on a regular basis, groups act as a network of strength, support, and education that many members rely on as they navigate their recovery. No matter if a person is new to the group or already an established member, the entire group benefits from offering each other assistance, compassion, and guidance as they rebuild their confidence and livelihood. In fact, many group members develop close-knit bonds and lifelong friendships, providing each other with a shoulder to cry on during tough times or a hand to high-five in encouragement. However, as of March 2020, the COVID-19 virus (commonly known as Coronavirus) has disrupted how groups function, despite being a crucial pillar of stability for those in recovery. With th...

Stewart Law Offices Shares Top 10 Key Facts About Workers’ Compensation and COVID-19

Image
Like the rest of the world, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has thrust the United States into an unprecedented public health crisis. Companies and government agencies have sent countless numbers of personnel to work from home — or not at all — to reduce the risk of spreading infection. The exceptions have been the essential employees — those who work in jobs that provide critical services to the public. So, the question looms: Are workers’ compensation benefits possible if you develop COVID-19 on the job? Here are 10 key facts that all South Carolinians should know about workers’ compensation and the coronavirus. Most South Carolina employees are entitled to workers’ compensation. Businesses with four or more regular or full-time employees are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance in South Carolina.
