Answer:

Drug abuse and addiction can affect almost every system in your body. You probably know that drugs affect feelings and moods, judgment, decision making, learning, and memory. But they can also cause or worsen other health problems—cancer; heart disease; lung disease; liver function; mental disorders; and infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, and tuberculosis. Some of these effects occur when drugs are used at high doses or after prolonged use, and some may occur after just one use.

Detoxification. Usually the first step is to purge your body of drugs and manage withdrawal symptoms.

Behavioral counseling. Individual, group, and/or family therapy can help you identify the root causes of your drug use, repair your relationships, and learn healthier coping skills.

Medication may be used to manage withdrawal symptoms, prevent relapse, or treat any co-occurring mental health condition such as depression or anxiety.

Long-term follow-up can help to prevent relapse and maintain sobriety. This may include attending regular in-person support groups or online meetings to help keep your recovery on track.

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome

Antipsychotic medication can cause the neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), a potentially fatal idiosyncratic reaction that is marked by fever, altered mental state, muscular stiffness, and autonomic dysfunction.

It has been linked to almost every neuroleptic, including more recent atypical antipsychotics, as well as a number of other drugs that influence central dopaminergic neurotransmission.

NMS is a rare condition, but it should still be taken into account when making a differential diagnosis for individuals who have fever and mental status changes since it has to be caught early to avoid serious morbidity and mortality.

The offending agent must be stopped right away, supporting measures must be put in place, and in more serious situations, pharmaceutical treatments may be necessary.
