  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • British troops used over 70 million amphetamine tablets during WW II.
  • A survey of non-injection methamphetamine users who were both heterosexual and gay males concluded that these users had more sex partners, were less likely to use a condom, and were more likely to exchange sex for money or drugs, have sex with an injection drug user, or to have a history of STDs; all risk factors for HIV transmission.
  • In 2009, over 600,000 Americans age 12 and older had abused heroin at least once in the year prior to being surveyed.
  • For every $1 invested in drug rehab in the U.S., there is a return of between $4 and $7 in reduced drug-related crime, criminal justice costs, and theft. When savings related to health care costs are included, total savings can exceed costs by a ratio of 12 to 1.
  • The skyrocketing rate of drug overdoses in the United States is not surprising, as opioid analgesics are increasingly being prescribed to individuals; according to a recent government survey, one in five adults and one in ten kids have received some form of opiate pain prescription within the past year.

Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a course of action which should be supervised by drug addiction professionals within a drug rehab program who understand how difficult and challenging methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detoxification is regarded to be far more serious in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and individuals typically revert back to methadone to alleviate withdrawal symptoms or, worse yet, turn to heroin or prescription opioids to alleviate symptoms. This is why methadone detox should only be done under close supervision at a drug treatment program which has practical experience in dealing with this type of detox, and where the person can receive additional rehabilitation services to handle all addiction issues.
