  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Anabolic steroid users will begin to spend large amounts of time and money trying to get these drugs, which is another common hallmark of a drug addiction.
  • Because the sale of GHB is illegal, no controls are in place regarding strength and purity of the drug when it is produced.
  • Alcohol use increases a persons risk of a severe form of acute lung injury called acute respiratory distress syndrome, which results in tens of thousands of deaths each year from alcohol-related lung injury.
  • 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.
  • It is important for an observer of a drug overdose to question the patient about what drugs they have taken, as by the time they reach the hospital, they may have be unconscious, and therefore may be unable to communicate.

Detoxification

Detoxification is usually the 1st step in getting off drugs. It permits an individual to be in a supervised environment while they go through withdrawal symptoms for drugs and/or alcohol. There are diverse types of detoxification. Theyrange from drug-free to medically supervised. A typical mistake that many addicts make is to believe 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 always 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.
