This week, Laguna Treatment Hospital launched a drug effects
calculator that estimates how long, after taking certain drugs, a
person might expect to remain under their intoxicating influence.
The calculator offers personalized results for 18 different drugs,
including heroin, meth, cocaine and THC, based on the person’s
height and weight. A former pharmaceutical researcher now working
at Laguna’s parent company, American Addiction Centers, developed
the calculator, which is one of the first-of-its-kind tools
available online.

“The new online tool is not meant to replace the advice of a
medical provider, but rather provide insight on the lasting effects
of intoxication,” said Jan Bresson, RN, director of nursing
services at Laguna Treatment Hospital. “If someone is also
experiencing acute withdrawal symptoms, we recommend they seek
medical attention. When a person has become physically dependent on
a drug, the detox process can be dangerous and even
life-threatening in some cases. Medical detox is the safest option
because you receive 24/7 medical supervision and medications that
can help ease the symptoms.”
Depending on the substance being used, the signs and symptoms of
withdrawal can include: headache, mood changes, muscle aches,
vomiting, cold sweats, and seizures. When someone is struggling
with a substance use disorder, they will often develop compulsive
patterns of drug use, and experience intermittent periods of
intoxication and withdrawal symptoms. Medical detox and safe
withdrawal management are important steps on the path to
recovery.
Laguna Treatment Hospital specializes in medical detox and is
one of only a few chemical dependency recovery hospitals in
Southern California.
