Transcript Measuring Water - Benzodiazepine Withdrawal Support

Water Titration and You
• In this presentation,
you will learn how to
prepare your daily
dose using the water
titration method.
Measuring Water
• Fill graduated cylinder
with water to the
amount indicated on
your schedule.
Dissolve Pill in Water
• Place one pill in
mortar with a small
amount of water from
your cylinder.
Dissolve Pill in Water
• Grind pill with pestle
until pill is completely
dissolved in the water.
Pour Medication into Blender
• Pour dissolved
medication into the
blender.
Rinse Mortar
• Rinse mortar with
some of the
measured water from
the cylinder.
Pour rinse water into blender
• Pour the rinse water
into the blender.
Pour cylinder water into blender
• Pour remaining premeasured cylinder
water into the blender.
Blend
• Blend for 20-30
seconds to suspend
medication in the
water.
Measuring your toss amount
• For small amounts
(under 20ml) use the
baby dropper to
measure and remove
your toss amount.
Measuring your toss amount
• For large amounts
(20ml or greater)
use the graduated
cylinder to measure
your toss amount. Do
this by pouring the
liquid from the
blender back into the
cylinder for
measurement.
Discard your toss amount
• Discard your toss
amount down the
drain. Or you if your
toss amount is
greater than your
drink amount, you can
save it in a sealed
container in the
refrigerator for use
the next day.
Drink what’s left
• After measuring and
discarding your “toss”
amount, drink the
remainder of the “drug
water” that remains in the
blender. Pour some
water in it and slosh it
around to pickup any
remaining residue and
drink the rinse water.
You’re Done!
