  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Since 1999, the large majority of drug overdose deaths have mostly been attributed to one particular category of drugs that are commonly referred to as "narcotics", and include prescription painkillers called opiods.
  • Early studies conducted with LSD focused on what insight it might be able to offer into certain types of mental illness.
  • 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.
  • GHB can be taken alone, but users often use the drug in combination with other drugs, such as alcohol or depressants, stimulants, hallucinogens, and marijuana.
  • Heroin users who inject the drug risk infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS and hepatitis.

Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a process which should be overseen by drug addiction professionals within a drug treatment program who realize how difficult and challenging methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detox is regarded to be far more serious in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and individuals frequently revert back to methadone to relieve withdrawal symptoms or, worse yet, turn to heroin or prescription opioids to relieve symptoms. This is why methadone detox must only be done under strict supervision at a drug treatment center which has practical experience in dealing with this type of detoxification, and where the person can receive further recovery services to address all addiction issues.
