THE JAILHOUSE DETOX=COLD TURKEY?ALWAYS?

[nikita70]

From your posting to this forum comes, that every jailhouse detox means cold turkey - is it what they usually treat users in all U.S.? Or just depends on what kind of the states, what region/theritory/area(?) and on the individual law of the state?
In Poland we have very bad drug-law, (they still want to realize the War on Drugs in "american style":D), our cops are weird also, but in practice, (related to what I have read here, in the forum) does it look not so bad. The cops are really awfull, so you must be preparing for the worst in first two days in police-arrest after you getting busted, before you landing in jail. But some of the jailhouse doctors are quite flexible and if you really sick they don't let you stay cold turkey, maybe because they're afraid if something bad happens they will be responsible, and because of the other prisoners that getting angry when someone's howling at the night, and like that.
I know the jailhose dtx, it was very bad experience, but as I noticed before the worst was the time in police arrest, till they fullfilling all this papers etc.
So my question is: is it in U.S. forbidden to help pharmaceutically (prescribes some benzos or painkillers) to someone who suffers on wds in jail?

[clinton]

i know in portland they give comfort meds,dont know if its opis or benzos though

[nick]

We used to have ultra rapid detox using methadone for anyone convicted.I think the length of detox was a couple of weeks.
Then we sued the prison service,the home office and anyone else involved.We won,the addicts that went through the detox were paid substantial damages and the judge savaged the policy.Nowdays there's MMT in jail or a far better detox.
Score one for the good guys.

Nikita,we used the basis of article 3 of the European human act for our case and won.I don't see why this shouldn't work in Poland...........apart from the right wing nature of Polish politics.

and while I'm here,do you know Artor? Is he still on his hunger strike?

[dirtdog]

around here they throw you in the drunk tank and laugh at you
thats what i hear anyways

[rockbottom]

in Calif. you go cold turkey if your super sick shitting in your pants and over 50yrs old "sometimes" theyll take you the hospital---but its still CT they won't even give methadone---in Colarado if your on methadone they'll detox you 10mgs a day untill clean then suffer---ain't no joke--thats why we do our best not to get busted---only i prison term in 30yrs of crime---i'm doing allright:)

[Duckfeet]

That's right, and the way I'd bet it happens...even tho I have filled out all the forms, all that, down at the clinic, where they're *supposed* to take it down to the jail if I get cracked, and the jail is *supposed* to make sure I get it....

But since making a sick junky well is way down the list of jailcop priorities, I expect nothing...I mean, they don't want to be hassled, and all this is to them is a hassle, and even tho I might yell and scream, they don't really give a rat's ass...they know that once I get out, I'm not *really* going to get a lawyer and come back and sue them, or whatever other ilde threats I might conjure up while sick....

Kicking in jail is just part of our life, and kicking methadone is not usually life-threatening...tho we feel like we're gonna die, but again, all they want to do is get us our bunk, and keep us from sticking a shiv in the next guy...

Me getting my methadone isn't important to them at all, no matter what the fee-based clinics now tell us..., so a good policy is to avoid jail haha...

the best I've ever gotten was 2mg's of lope and some benadryl... meh

Nick & Nikita: European Union regulatives and the European Human Rights Court should supersede any national legislation (Except for with abortion god forbid)

Travelling in Poland myself a bit, could you tell me more about the scene there? At least cops can be bought off, eh?

[devilsdrug]

well dirt i got darvon n back in the , 70s in CoCo Co. jail, but i know they dont do that anymore since i ct it a couple times there and i was worse off than the time they gave it to me, shit i didnt sleep for a month one time and they put me in a private cell cause i was so bad. another time up north they gave me benzos and codeine to take the edge off cause this jail nurse thought i was gonna die since he had told me this on 2 previous occaisions. anyway go for the darvon n and sometimes theyll givem up cause it doesnt have as bad a rap as others

[Duckfeet]

If yer on mdone, and think there's *any* chance at all of spending more than 24hrs in jail--usually only felonies--then I'd seriously suggest going and talking to a bondsman, and making sure they know u can make bail, and need to get out quickly...the only good thing about methadone and jail, is that u can go a day or two kicking methadone before it starts to get really bad...but, again, the rights we think we are legally entitled to, and the rights we actually posess in an american jail, are very different...

This is not to scare anybody: if yer not out pulling robberies or whacking people, you probably aren't going to be up against it anyway, but again, jails are underfunded and understaffed,and the last thing they are concerned about is some sick junky crying in his cell...I've kicked while locked up, and always was treated fairly decently by my cellies, and mostly just tried to get myself up to eat and then back to laying and shivering until it got better....it always does....then it's dominoes and shooting the shit, same as jail always is...

[pharmboy]

Hay Nakita, US jails are cruel and unusual, should be unconstitutional right ?

They dont let that bother them. They think the crueler the better.

The past eight years haven't helped anything either.

It's a fuckin mess here.

If you arn't rich.

[Saint]

I guess we're very, very spoiled in the Netherlands. People on MMT can stay on MMT in jail. Others can taper but still get a decent dose of methadone from the start. On the worst days you can even get the odd benzo..
First thing most junkies will ask for when busted is to see a doctor instead of a lawyer and get their meds..

[Chicago]

I can't imagine that unless u just being held till ur BOND!!!!!!
What does happen in Chicago (cook county) is if u get locked up in the county for however long or waiting to get transfered to the pen,
They will give u a 21day meth detox, but only if u are in a mmt clinic, but if a real bad junky or buying ur meth off the streets & get locked up, u kinda FUCKED, what they give u is this stuff that is green & has a minty taste, bla bla But I no it's N-Quel(sp) for sleep then they give u something for ur stomach(bentyl)sp.
So u gotta be on the mmt program or u getting nite-quel to sleep & a stomach pill.
In the joint/pen u GETS NADA NOTHING unless u r RX'd a certain med maybe high blood presure.
In jan when I was locked up for susp of murder & did 8 days, I was in a cell 23hrs a day, no meth b/c not on the program yet, & told me to go fuck myself for being rx's xanax & klonopin's for (10 fck'n yrs) nope deal w/it, & I did, well I had no choice.
LIFE JUST SEEMS LIKE A BREEZE FOR ANYONE THAT HAS KICKED IN A JAIL & NOT MEAN FOR 3-7DAY'S BUT 30+DAYS. YOU LOOK AT LIFE DIFFERENT.

In Rikers Island jail which is the county jail for all 5 boroughs you get 20 mg of meth if your on heroin but they will give you your full dose if your on a meth program. If you got a felony your getting detoxed.

[Chicago]

^^^^another thing people do in county here is, if say I am on the 21day meth detox I will hold in my mouth(the meth) & not swallow it but spit it into a cup or another persons mouth for some $$$$$, thats what some do when they are sick ENOUGH, SOUNDS SICK YES:rolleyes:

[_L_S_V_]

in canada if you're on methadone on the outside you will get it in the inside. all i got was some shitty clonodine though. any prescriptions on the outside they will not give you on the inside. they'll give you a tylenol or ibuprofen though. :rolleyes:

[SeVeN]

In Georgia they will take your vitals and if its real bad or you act up they send you to the hospital. Maybe some serequil if u act the fucking fool but who wants that shit?

Whats amazing is they will not give you any medicines that may make you drowsy. Thats what the nurse told me but they give out serequil?!?!? Fuck that , lying assholes.

[SHELLEY]

in palmbeach county florida they throw you in a cell and laugh
if you look **real** sick, they throw you in "detox cells"
which is the same as a regular single-person cell except NOTHING IN IT
no matress, no running water/sink, no bedroll/sheets/pillow,
no shoes, no towel, no jail clothes, no underwear
they give you a paper gown and let you shiver and wait it out
after 24 hrs of that, you aren't thinking about dope
all you want to do is lay down not on concrete under a scratchy blanket!!!
that shit alone sounds like heaven on earth
so it's best to pretend you're ok even if you really want to die in pbc

if you come in pregnant and hooked on opiates, even illegal ones
they HAVE to take you to the methadone clinic daily at their expense
because coming off opiates (even slow) can kill the baby
and then you can sue their fuck asses right off

it's one thing for cops to hear "i'm sick and i'm gonna sue!!"
from a junky asshole who they know will call his dealer when he gets out, not a lawyer
it's another thing for them to force w/d on a pregnant bitch
and she has a miscarriage because of it or the baby is born obviously fucked
that bitch WILL sue and she WILL win!!!
they just don't want you to sue, or die b/c then your family can sue
but if you can't sue (and win) and you aren't literally dying...
well then you're shit outta luck in jail down here

Two days in Queens central bookings w/ding set me straight for a lifetime.

Maybe i'm stupid, but i've never declared my habit when locked up......Coz my visit is gonna get me well and after that i'll take it as it comes.........And yep,i've done my share of cold turkey, no sleep for a month,yada yada......

[rolln7s]

I saw someone die right in front of me in jail from wd's. The CO's were not helping her, they acted like they could not hear her blood curdling cry for help. Then they just drug her body away like she meant nothing to no one. It still makes me very mad and sad to this day =(

[upstate_007]

Two days in Queens central bookings w/ding set me straight for a lifetime.

Word.

I spent too many three day tours in the Tombs in Manhattan. No chance in hell at the guards or anyone else treating you like a human.

As far as I know, once you get to Rikers, if you are on the program on the outside you can get back on it once you make it to the island.

Upstate jails denied me anything at all when kicking. Not even Tylenol. I was on the program when I got thrown in the county upstate one time and they refused to give me my methadone. I was on the program in NYC at the time though if that makes a difference.

[Pantopon Pete]

When I got popped in the Bronx w/ 3 bundles, I said i was gonna be real sick and the screw said once i checked into central booking i could go to the hospital but it would add 3 days to booking time. I called their bluff, got the hospital bus, got 65 mg of done, and saw the judge a full 12 hours before my friend who got popped with me, and chose to tough it out. Go figure.

I've definitely been denied even the option of the hospital other times I was locked up in the BX, though. So it varies.

[Chicago]

exactly the words outta my mouth ,,,

My thoughts exactly. Opiate w/d aint going to kill you. If you have underlying conditions, they could be complicated by the withdrawal and do you in.....but not the withdrawal itself.

I have felt like I was going to die, prayed for death and all that. But, it wont kill you.

[Cherry's Jubilee]

^^Maybe it was benzo or alcohol withdrawal. That shit CAN kill ya. *shudder* at the thought of withdrawing in jail. It's fucking horrific in the comfort of your own home.

[Chicago]

I'm sorry but if it was right in front of you why did you not help , yell for a doctor, she is having a heart attack or hit her head & fainted.

Thank you bro, that is exactly what I said above & u did quate it.
It sounds like we both kicked it in jail many times. It is hell, but u not gonna die, yea when we do get locked up, they do treat us like the lowest scum on earth when u addict, days when I was being let out, u no how u number gets called b/c they let out sometimes 15-50people at 1 time. They were telling me in line that I will be back, I'm walking outta here to projects across the street to cop some dope & they gonna leave my pod open 4 me,lol.

But the above post, PLEASE BE REAL, THIS IS NO JOKE, I DON'T WANNA BE MEAN, BUT IF SUM1 U SEE IS DYING IN FRONT OF YOU & U DO NOTHING, BE MAD AT URSELF. WHAT COULD U HAVE DONE TO HELP HER. WHY BE MAD AT THE CO?
U SAID SHE CRYING FOR HELP , THAT IS B/C JUNKYS ARE LIERS, BUT IF SHE DIED YELLING? OR IN HER SLEEP B/C WORD GETS AROUND THE DECK REAL REAL QUICK.

[Consumed.]

There's actually been articles in the Mass Journal of Medicine now saying that opiate withdrawals can kill you.

I will try to find them.

Edit: Heroin addiction, as well as all opiate addictions, usually require medically monitored detox for the severe withdrawal symptoms the drugs produce. Heroin use causes a strong physical dependence and therefore opiate detox can result in serious complications when the use of the drug is stopped abruptly. Cold-turkey heroin detox and withdrawal symptoms can include seizures, heart irregularities, vomiting, insomnia and the sweats. Once the body has adapted to the presence of the drug, withdrawal symptoms may occur if heroin use is reduced or stopped. Opiate withdrawal, in regular abusers, may occur as early as a few hours after the last administration. It may also produce drug craving, restlessness, muscle and bone pain, diarrhea, cold flashes, goose bumps, leg kicking movements and various other physical symptoms. Most heroin detox and withdrawal symptoms peak between 48 and 72 hours after the last dose. Sudden withdrawal from some synthetic opiates such as methadone can be fatal.

CONSEQUENCES OF UNTREATED WITHDRAWAL

Detoxification is defined as a medically supervised procedure intended to insure a safe, effective, and humane transition to a drug or alcohol free state. (3) Failure to initiate detoxification of physiologically dependent persons following cessation of use results in the onset of acute withdrawal. The nature and intensity of withdrawal symptoms vary depending on the substance, duration, and quantity of use. (4) Symptoms range from mild discomfort to severe pain and death. Cocaine and stimulant withdrawal symptoms range from mild dysphoria to severe irritability, sleep disturbance, depression, and frank psychosis. (5)

Opiate withdrawal typically begins with yawning, lacrimation, and rhinorrhea and progresses to nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, myalgias, fever, tachycardia, and hypertension. (6) The severity of opiate withdrawal has been linked to the quantity and route of administration of the opiate. (7) Given the nearly ten-fold increase in the purity of heroin sold on the street in the U.S. in past fifteen years, (8) it is likely that opiate withdrawal has become more severe. (9) Symptoms of heroin withdrawal usually begin four to six hours following last use, peak within forty-eight hours, and subside within five to seven days.

Although opiate withdrawal is not usually fatal, deaths in jail due to inadequately treated opiate withdrawal have been reported. (10) The risk of withdrawal complications is heightened by the presence of co-morbid conditions. Opiate dependent persons have high rates of concurrent illness including HIV and hepatitis C infection, pneumonia, and endocarditis (infection involving the heart valves). (11) Furthermore, symptoms from opiate withdrawal may mask symptoms of life-threatening conditions such as sepsis (blood infection), pneumonia, myocardial infarction (heart attack), appendicitis or even alcohol withdrawal. Severe activation of the sympathetic nervous system accompanies untreated opiate withdrawal and may precipitate chest pain or myocardial infarction in persons with underlying coronary artery disease.

^^^^^^This just sounds like my real w/d symptoms to a "T"....
THAT IS REAL OPIATE W/D, & IF SOME PEOPLE DO NOT GET THAT, THEY WILL SOONER OR LATER, B/C U JUST DESCRIBED OPIATE OR LETS SAY HEROIN/METHODONE W/D.

IN DETAIL. THEY SAY U CAN DIE(MEDIA,BOOKS, ARTICLES) WILL SAY THAT. BUT IT WON'T.
LIKE I SAID U FEEL IKE IT, U WANNA DIE, U ASK PEOPLE TO SOMETIMES KILL YOU, SEEN THIS B4, BUT U DON'T.

I'm not condoning what rock said above BUT he did lose a child because of a woman using while pregnant AND i don't think he knew shelley was on methadone. But she was talkin about maybe doin coke on a thread the other day, but thats her business.

Chicago, im need to say this but, your pretty fukinn RUDE AND IGNORANT? Did anywhere in my post say that I KNEW FOR A FACT SHE WAS COMING OFF OPIATE W/D??? i have no idea the exact amount, or drugs she was coming off of, i know one was methadone (but not sure of all the others, just knew that when she first came in she was talkin to herself and all wobbly pounding on the glass saying she was going to get a seizure. which rightt here made me think she might be coming off benzos too, probably xanax since those have a hhifgher rate for seizures when withdrawing.THE CO's ingnored her. I was in a dorm with like 40 women. YOU DONT THINK ANYONE WAS TRYING TO HELP HER??? Once we're in there all we got is eachothers dusty asses to look out for one another. we gave her our meals and our clean clothes/towels THats all we did someone would stay up-- another inmate-- take shifts at night and check on her help the poor thing out. THE CO's GAVE A FUKIN DAMN about how sick she was. Next thing I knew I woke up in the morning to STU ( its what we called him, i forget his formal "CO NAME") to saying real loud WE NEED ASSISTANCE IN HERE GET MEDICAL. The lady was on the ground, not breathing and that was the only glimpse i could see of her before they evacuated me and everyone in there(they were the dorms that havew 3 reaally big upstairs/downstairs glass windows, control center in the middle Dorm A,B,C, etc...), so before i could hear more they evacuated us out of their REAL QUICK and put us all in a different place which hadnt been used in a LONG time and was HAUNTED (but thats a different story) I never got to stick around like a god damn reporter and ask questions to find out specifics and for fuks sake OF COURSE I TRIED HELPING HER WTF your post made me really upset i think you need to think before you open your mouth just because your gorgeous as fuk doesnt mean you can have vomit of the mouth!!!!!!!! All I know is that if she had gotten some medical attention she would probably have 99% made it, the story made newspapers it was so FUCT up. I apologize if my post was too harsh for some but i had to get it off my chest.

i'm pathetic and you despise me huh? :)
i'm 7 1/2 months pregnant and have been clean since i found out about it (feb)
i was told by 2 different drs that if i tried to kick the h while preg
then baby would die or be fucked up somehow
so i went on methadone back in feb and have used h a grand total of ONCE since my first dose
no coke, no booze, no pain pills, no benzos, no crystal, no anything
i still smoke weed but not a lot, and cut down on my cig habit
i go to the dr regularly and since i have had ABSOLUTELY ZERO COMPLICATIONS
i have been moved from the "high risk pregnancy" category to "low risk"
in other words, this baby is 100% healthy because i took responsiblity

we was talking about jailhouse w/d and if the screws do anything for ya
so i said that if you are preggo, they are obligated to by law
i'd appreciate it if you listened to folks before calling them pathetic or whatever
shit, if ya still want to hate me, feel free- no skin off my ass
but at least hate me for things i did, not things you THINK i did
sounds fair? good...


I'm not condoning what rock said above BUT he did lose a child because of a woman using while pregnant AND i don't think he knew shelley was on methadone. But she was talkin about maybe doin coke on a thread the other day, but thats her business.


i did say i would loooooove to do a shot of coke (or 2, or 3, or 10, or 50)
because my down the street neighbor had some last weekend
i figured this is a good place to vocalize cravings and get them out of my head
so i don't end up doing it
maybe i was wrong, but hell- i wouldn't try and kill this kid now
i just seen my new ultrasound (it's definitely a girl!!)
and i think i'm in love with her.... <3

[HMMM...]

Shelley... your doing a damn good job from what I hear of the changes you made for you and your little one. Don't let anyones negativity drop your spirit. It's easy to point the finger and be on the other side.
You have your life to live and soon to be lil girls?... so I'm sure your going to make the best of things out of what you can.
