  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • While a large percentage of people who have had a drug overdose have been reported to recover without experiencing any long term health effects, many of these cases have resulted in death.
  • Individuals who use PCP may experience a "dissociative" feeling, meaning it distorts perceptions of sight and sound and produces feelings of detachment.
  • Individuals who make Ecstasy can add anything they want to the drug, so its purity is always in question.
  • High doses of crystal meth can produce such effects as increased heart rate, severe hyperthermia (high body temperature), paranoia, and stroke, often resulting in death.
  • Drug craving and depression experienced during crack withdrawal can last for several weeks and months following cessation of long-term heavy use of the drug.

Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a process which must be supervised by substance abuse professionals within a drug rehabilitation facility who understand how difficult and challenging methadone detox can be. Methadone detoxification is regarded to be far more severe in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and individuals typically revert back to methadone to relieve withdrawal symptoms or, worse yet, turn to heroin or prescription opioids to ease symptoms. This is why methadone detoxification must only be done under close supervision at a drug rehabilitation facility which has practical experience in dealing with this type of detoxification, and where the individual can receive further recovery services to address all addiction issues.
