  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Individuals who use PCP may experience a "dissociative" feeling, meaning it distorts perceptions of sight and sound and produces feelings of detachment.
  • Heroin is the preferred drug among opiate addicts mostly because it is several times more potent than morphine and reaches the brain very quickly, producing an euphoric rush when injected intravenously.
  • Drug withdrawal from certain drugs such as benzodiazepines or alcohol can cause life threatening symptoms, and therefore the abrupt discontinuation of any type of drug without medical or professional detox supervision is not recommended.
  • In 2007, hydrocodone such as that contained in Lortab was mentioned in 24,558 emergency room visits, 11,001 single exposures and 23 deaths according to The American Association of Poison Control Centers.
  • An opiate addicted individual may attempt to inject dissolved morphine pills, a risky practice which can result in vascular inflammation and permanent damage.

Specialized in Hiv/Aids Patients

It is not uncommon for someone with HIV/AIDS to end up in an addiction treatment facility receiving help for serious addiction problems. Sometimes people who abuse drugs and alcohol are predisposed to such diseases because of certain circumstances which afflict the drug culture such as sharing dirty syringes to inject drugs or becoming involved in risky sexual behavior because of lowered sexual inhibitions caused by drug use. Persons with HIV/AIDS should have effective treatment just like any otherwise healthy addicted individual. Substance abuse rehabilitation centers that accept and cater to persons with HIV/AIDS offer specialized care to address any health issues that may come up in the course of treatment. This way, any physical barriers to recovery are alleviated so that they can overcome their addiction once and for all.
