  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Drug detoxification in a drug rehab may be managed with medications that are given by a physician in an inpatient or outpatient setting, which is known as "medically managed withdrawal."
  • Fentanyl withdrawal symptoms can occur within just a few hours of the last dose, and will typically become worse and worse and more intense until they reach a plateau, and will typically subside within a few days to a week.
  • Heroin withdrawal is not fatal for those who are in overall good health, but it can be fatal to the fetus of someone who is pregnant.
  • Educating people in the United States about drug overdose signs and symptoms could potentially save thousands of lives every year in this country.
  • Recently in the state of California, drug overdose deaths have raised dramatically, according to many recent news reports. In one instance, a 19-year old Army recruit, who had just recently passed his military physical, took a handful and Xanax and went out drinking with several friends; this person did not ever get the opportunity to serve in the military, as he was subsequently found dead in his vehicle the next morning.

Detoxification

Detoxification is commonly the very first step in getting off drugs. It makes it possible for an individual 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 frequent mistake that many addicts make is to think that detox is sufficient to kick their habit. This is hardly ever the case. All detox does is get a person through the withdrawal when they stop using. It is often recommended that detox be followed up with some type of treatment plan to uncover the root of why an individual was using drugs in the first place.
