  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Many pharmacists in the United States have often dubbed methadone as the "scary pill", because sometimes people do not get the immediate pain relief that they want from this drug, so they take more than they should, which could potentially result in a fatal overdose.
  • Drug withdrawal from certain drugs such as benzodiazepines or alcohol can cause life threatening symptoms, and therefore the abrupt discontinuation of any type of drug without medical or professional detox supervision is not recommended.
  • Amphetamines are still currently used by militaries around the world.
  • Improved breeds of marijuana, indoor cultivation and the use of sophisticated cultivation techniques have allowed marijuana cultivators to make significantly more potent versions of marijuana.
  • Overdose deaths can be intentional or unintentional, and they can result from both licit and illicit drug abuse. Drugs commonly implicated in overdose deaths are alcohol, psychoactive medications, analgesics, illicit drugs such as cocaine and heroin, and multiple drugs taken concomitantly.

Detoxification

Detoxification is usually the first step in getting off drugs. It makes it possible for a particular person to be in a supervised environment while they go through withdrawal symptoms for drugs and/or alcohol. There are different types of detoxification. Theyrange from drug-free to medically supervised. A widespread mistake that a lot of addicts make is to feel that detox is enough to kick their habit. This is seldom the case. All detox does is get a person through the withdrawal when they stop using. It is at all times recommended that detox be followed up with some type of treatment plan to find out the root of why somebody was using drugs in the first place.
