  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • As of 2005, the most significant predictors of whether an individual would complete drug rehab or transfer to another program to receive further treatment included: alcohol as the primary substance of abuse, less than daily use at admission, being over age 40, having 12 or more years of education, being White, referral to treatment by the criminal justice system, and being employed.
  • Treatment for a drug overdose is always dependent on knowing which type of drug has been used; therefore, it is critical that a person who witnesses a drug overdose bring any pills or bottles that may help the emergency medical team to determine the appropriate form of treatment.
  • Many people who survive an overdose could possibly have to undergo some type of ongoing medical care for the rest of their lives.
  • Animal studies show that exposure to Ecstasy for just a few days can cause brain damage that is still evident many years later.
  • In 2009 nearly 30% percent of senior high school respondents surveyed admitted to being drunk within the past 30 days.

Other Language Programs

Individuals who speak other languages, other than English that is, should be able to receive substance abuse rehabilitation which is on par with English speakers. Those who speak other languages should not feel that their treatment opportunities are limited or inferior because they don't speak English. There are many drug treatment programs available which cater to those who speak foreign languages, all of which offer a variety of programs to choose from. For example, some substance abuse treatment facilities which can treat people who speak other languages are only short term programs, but there are more long term options available. Foreign language speakers should seek the advice from a treatment professional in their area to choose a drug treatment facility that provides rehabilitation services in their specific language.
