  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Recently in the state of California, drug overdose deaths have raised dramatically, according to many recent news reports. In one instance, a 19-year old Army recruit, who had just recently passed his military physical, took a handful and Xanax and went out drinking with several friends; this person did not ever get the opportunity to serve in the military, as he was subsequently found dead in his vehicle the next morning.
  • Around 20 percent of heavy drinkers develop cirrhosis, the seventh leading cause of death among young and middle-age adults in the U.S.
  • Deaths from methadone typically occur at the beginning of methadone treatment programs, and are usually a result of excessive doses of the drug.
  • According to researchers around the globe, drug overdose deaths are increasing around the world in tandem with the increasing medical and nonmedical use of prescription narcotic pain relievers.
  • Among current American drinkers aged 12 to 20 in 2010 who had not paid for the alcohol the last time they had consumed, nearly 40 percent got it from an unrelated person aged 21 or older, 16.6 percent from another person younger than 21 years old, and 21.6 percent from a parent, guardian, or other adult family member.

Adolescents (18 and under)

It is a disturbing fact that many adolescents in the United States become exposed to drugs and alcohol at a very young age, and some even become addicted and dependent to drugs and/or alcohol. For adolescents who do become addicted and dependent to drugs and alcohol, parents need to be willing to do whatever it takes to get the problem resolved before it is too late. Any indication that drugs or alcohol are in the picture should be confronted right away, otherwise, addiction will lead down a path of total destruction for the adolescent and for the family. There are drug and alcohol treatment facilities for adolescents offered in every state, many of which cater only to adolescents and have treatment professionals and counselors on hand that are trained specifically in dealing with this age range.
