  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Ativan should not ever be taken with alcohol, as this combination would intensify the medication's side effects and greatly increase the risk of a potentially fatal Ativan overdose.
  • Many drug overdose deaths in the United States have been caused by tranquilizers and by antidepressants; some researchers estimate approximately one-quarter of the total amount of drug overdoses are related to these types of prescription drugs.
  • Individuals who use Ecstasy always run the risk of taking two other potentially toxic substances known as MDA and PMA, which are similar to Ecstasy but much more toxic and have been responsible with fatalities in the United States and Australia.
  • At mild to medium doses, PCP use may cause a slight increase in breathing rate and a pronounced rise in blood pressure and pulse rate.
  • Alcohol use slows signal transmission in the brain which may cause some of the effects associated with alcohol intoxication, including sleepiness and sedation.

Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a process which must be supervised by drug addiction professionals within a drug treatment facility who realize how challenging and difficult methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detoxification is known to be far more serious in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and individuals often 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 must only be done under strict supervision at a drug treatment center which has practical experience in handling this type of detox, and where the person can receive further rehabilitation services to deal with all addiction issues.
