Facts
- Injection of prescription pain killers can cause cellulitis and abscess formation at the injection site, sepsis, endocarditis, osteomyelitis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
- Prescription drug abuse and addiction is a pattern of repeated drug taking that usually results in tolerance (the need for greater amounts of the drug to achieve the same effect), withdrawal (physical and cognitive effects when drug use declines or stops), and compulsive drug taking behavior (drug taking that persists despite efforts to reduce intake and despite problems with family, friends, and work).
- Because giving up benzodiazepines is difficult it is recommended that the addict complete a drug rehabilitation program.
- Individuals who inject prescription pain relievers to get high are at a heightened risk of contracting HIV and other infectious diseases through use of unsterile or shared equipment. Non-injection use of these drugs can also increase these risks because of poor judgment and decision making brought on by drug use.
Transitional housing is a very useful resource for individuals in Greenfield who have completed a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program but still need time to completely re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. For someone who has used drugs or alcohol to self medicate and especially for long term addicts, the world can seem like a formidable place now that one has to get through life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Greenfield supplies a safe haven where those who are in this stage of the drug rehabilitation process can slowly become at ease with the idea of rebuilding their life without drugs and becoming independent. While in transitional housing individuals can continue to participate in individualized and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to find steady employment and housing so that they have a good chance at remaining abstinent and being to lead a fruitful and happy life.
