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.

    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.

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. ...
