Facts
- Prescription Drugs are big business with high profits. The ongoing creation by major international drug companies of expanded markets and new markets for antidepressants include new "alleged diseases" such as "social anxiety disorder" for which Paxil is being promoted heavily in advertising; Prozac as Serafem to treat "mood imbalances associated with premenstrual syndrome" and since Prozac has gone off patent, the drug manufacturer, Eli Lilly has received approval to market an once-weekly version of the drug (based on its "new coating").
- If Benzodiazepines are abruptly discontinued, withdrawal symptoms can be so uncomfortable that other drugs are taken as a substitute.�''
- Adult use of prescription antidepressants almost tripled between 1988-1994 and 1999-2000. Ten percent of women 18 and older and 4 percent of men now take prescription antidepressant drugs.
- The urine screening of pregnant women in one urban hospital found 2.6% of those tested positive for prescription opioids.
Short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services in Mount Vernon are ordinarily delivered in an inpatient or residential facility for a time period of 30 days or less. Though long term drug rehab requires at least a 90 day stay and a lot more rigorous course of treatment, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services work by getting the individual abstinent through detoxification in conjunction with a short course of counseling and therapy to lightly address addiction issues. Since it can take several weeks if not months to completely address everything which might hang the person up and result in relapse once they go back into the real world, short-term drug rehab and alcohol treatment services may not be sufficient for those in Mount Vernon who have a trueaddiction to drugs.
