Investigating Medford Rehabilitation Facilities
If you live in
Medford, Oregon, you may have heard about the "
Snow Queen," a 34-year-old resident who was recently sentenced to 13 years for drug trafficking. Whether it is cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin or another addiction that has you concerned that you may end up in trouble with the law as well,
a Medford drug treatment center can help.Things to Discuss Before Entering Treatment
Before you enter into any type of rehabilitation center, it's important to discuss some things first. Since you know you plan to give up the habit in a couple of days, your first instinct may be to binge on your drug of choice. Don't. This is one of the worst things you can do because not only will you increase your withdrawal symptoms, you'll also increase your risk of overdose. However, don't just quit cold turkey either. Keep your regular schedule until you come in to avoid shocking your system. For many addictions, the detox process should be supervised by medical professionals.
The Dangers of Injecting Cocaine
Injecting cocaine can oftentimes be more dangerous than snorting it because of the increased risk of overdose. Other dangers of injecting cocaine include:
- Increased tolerance causing greater need for more of the drug
- Elevated heart rate
- Ulcers
- Suddenly violent behavior (cocaine-induced psychosis)
- Hallucinations
- Kidney damage
- Inability to feel pleasure without the drug
