  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Recent government statistics have indicated that there has been a huge increase in opioid related drug overdose deaths in individuals that are 35 to 54 years old in the United States.
  • Inhalant abuse, specifically abuse of trichloroethylene which can be found in spot removers and degreasers, can cause cirrhosis of the liver and hearing and liver damage.
  • It is important for an observer of a drug overdose to question the patient about what drugs they have taken, as by the time they reach the hospital, they may have be unconscious, and therefore may be unable to communicate.
  • Chronic abuse of alcohol can cause blood conditions such as anemia and blood clotting abnormalities which can result in susceptibility to bleeding and bruising.
  • Abuse of stimulants such as Adderall can cause also many life-threatening and dangerous side effects because of their effects on the heart and central nervous system, which can lead to a heart attack or stroke.

Native American or Alaska Native Languages

Native Americans and Alaska Natives have much higher rates of substance abuse and addiction than other ethnicities, a situation which must be addressed for these cultures to survive. In fact, Native American and Alaska youth have some of the highest rates of alcohol and drug abuse in the country. While the reasons may vary from person to person, most of the reasons for the high rates of substance abuse among Native American and Alaska natives are cultural ones. The biggest barrier to treating Native Americans and Alaska Natives for substance abuse are language and culture differences. This is why it is important that Native Americans and Alaska Natives receive substance abuse treatment in a drug rehab program that is specifically catered to this ethnic group, but most importantly in one that takes into the account the need to provide treatment in their language.
