(USGovernment-News.Com, July 22, 2015 ) Orlando, FL -- According to the OC Register women are more susceptible to addiction, and have a harder time recovering than their male counterparts. In the last few years the rates for heroin use among women have increased by 100%, whereas the rate for male heroin use has increased 50%. In response to the egregious influx of heroin abuse Orange County's police department will soon carry an opiate overdose reversal medication which will help save the lives of those who have suffered a heroin overdose. The medication works to reverse the depression of the central nervous system, and allows victims of overdose to breathe and prevent permanent brain damage. Drug Rehab Orlando is a drug treatment facility in Orlando admitting patients with alcohol and drug use disorders from all over the state of Florida.
The treatment center asserts gender specific therapies may help abate the heroin crisis and help those afflicted with heroin or opiate addiction more readily by addressing the gender stigmas surrounding addiction. A Harvard study reveals women are more apt to relapse as compared to men. Many become addicted to heroin in response to replace their prescription drug addiction. Heroin is far cheaper than illegal prescription medications, and often gives users a more potent high- making the drug exceedingly dangerous.
According to the OC Register "it can cost up to $100 a day to stay high on pills, while a balloon of heroin offering an eight hour is about $35."
An associate from Orlando Drug Rehab comments, "Zeroing in on treatment programs specifically aimed at the root problems causing addiction is the only way to truly help someone not relapse after treatment. It's not enough to treat the symptoms of addiction, which is addiction itself- the root causes, like unresolved traumas must be explored and resolved is there is to be inner peace. Gender specific drug rehabilitation programs can help more adequately address societal stigmas which may not take a central role in traditional treatment methods."
