  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • At mild to medium doses, PCP use may cause a slight increase in breathing rate and a pronounced rise in blood pressure and pulse rate.
  • Many people suffer needlessly or die from a drug overdose, because the professional medical assistance that is required is not able to be delivered in a timely manner.
  • Currently in the United States, there is very little funding for overdose prevention; unfortunately, the overdose epidemic continues to escalate as the federal grants for these types of preventative programs are not being approved for funding.

Detoxification

Detoxification is usually the initial step in getting off drugs. It permits a person to be in a supervised setting while they go through withdrawal symptoms for drugs and/or alcohol. There are different types of detoxification. Theyvary from drug-free to medically supervised. A frequent mistake that a lot of addicts make is to think that detox is sufficient to kick their habit. This is seldom the case. All detox does is get someone 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 learn the root of why a person was using drugs in the first place.
