  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Confusion and impaired motor skills as a result of GHB use are quite common, particularly at higher doses.
  • The shift in the types of drugs that are reported to be responsible for the large majority of drug overdoses has also changed the demographics of those individuals that are dying from overdoses.
  • In Tazewell County, Virginia, over 150 people had been charged with felonies associated with OxyContin abuse in 2000.
  • In the past there were very few milligrams of actual heroin found in a bag of the drug, as most of the bag was filled with additives like sugar, powdered milk, or quinine.
  • Researchers have reported that in order for a person to consume enough marijuana to experience a fatal overdose, they would have to consume almost 40,000 times the amount of THC (the active ingredient in marijuana) required to intoxicate them. For example, if it took an individual 10 hits to become intoxicated, it would take 400,000 hits of marijuana to produce a fatal overdose.

Detoxification

Detoxification is typically the initial step in getting off drugs. It enables a person to be in a supervised setting while they go through withdrawal symptoms for drugs and/or alcohol. There are various types of detoxification. Theyrange from drug-free to medically supervised. A typical mistake that quite a few addicts make is to feel that detox is enough to kick their habit. This is almost never the case. All detox does is get someone through the withdrawal when they stop using. It is often recommended that detox be followed up with some type of treatment plan to learn the root of why someone was using drugs in the first place.
