  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • GHB can produce vivid hallucinations as well as excited and aggressive forms of behavior.
  • Canadian-produced Ecstasy imported into the U.S. sometimes contains methamphetamine or other dangerous substances which introduces a whole new set of risks and consequences for users.
  • Due to the rapid onset of central nervous system depression that commonly occurs as the result of a methadone overdose, it is not wise to encourage the person to vomit, as this could lead to them choking.
  • According to a 2010 Reuters Health report, a larger number of Americans than ever have landed in the hospital due to drug overdoses related to powerful prescription painkillers, sedatives, tranquilizers, and sleep medications.
  • The risk of a drug overdose is always greater when using illicit street drugs, because the user can never be sure how strong the drug is that they are taking; ultimately, this can lead to serious, or even fatal consequences.

Detoxification

Detoxification is commonly the first step in getting off drugs. It permits a particular person to be in a supervised setting while they go through withdrawal symptoms for drugs and/or alcohol. There are diverse types of detoxification. Theyvary from drug-free to medically supervised. A frequent mistake that quite a few addicts make is to assume that detox is enough to kick their habit. This is rarely the case. All detox does is get somebody through the withdrawal when they stop using. It is usually recommended that detox be followed up with some type of treatment plan to find out the root of why someone was using drugs in the first place.
