  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • According to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the drug overdose mortality trend in the United States closely correlates with the rapid rise in sales of opioid analgesics per capita.
  • Individuals who take OxyContin for an extended period of time can develop a tolerance or resistance to the drugs effects.
  • In 2009 there were over 1 million visits to emergency rooms involving prescription drugs in the U.S.
  • Chronic methamphetamine use will almost always result in a tolerance to the drug, and users often try to intensify the desired effects by taking higher doses more frequently or changing the method of administration.
  • Children of alcoholics tend to be raised by parents with poorer cognitive abilities and in an environment which lacks stimulation, which may account in part for the pattern of failure found in children of alcoholics.

Detoxification

Detoxification is usually the initial step in getting off drugs. It makes it possible for an individual to be in a supervised setting while they go through withdrawal symptoms for drugs and/or alcohol. There are diverse types of detoxification. Theyrange from drug-free to medically supervised. A common mistake that a lot of addicts make is to believe that detox is enough to kick their habit. This is seldom 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 learn the root of why an individual was using drugs in the first place.
