  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Cocaine is most often smuggled into the United States across the Mexican border, where it arrives in powder form and is converted to crack by the wholesaler or retailer.
  • Current use of marijuana among U.S. teens has dropped dramatically in the past decade; this decline has stalled during the past several years however.
  • In 2007, hydrocodone such as that contained in Lortab was mentioned in 24,558 emergency room visits, 11,001 single exposures and 23 deaths according to The American Association of Poison Control Centers.
  • An average alcoholic drink will take about 10 hours for the average person to process. The more alcohol that is consumed, the greater the rise in blood alcohol content.
  • Researchers have reported that in order for a person to consume enough marijuana to experience a fatal overdose, they would have to consume almost 40,000 times the amount of THC (the active ingredient in marijuana) required to intoxicate them. For example, if it took an individual 10 hits to become intoxicated, it would take 400,000 hits of marijuana to produce a fatal overdose.

Detoxification

Detoxification is usually the first step in getting off drugs. It allows an individual to be in a supervised setting while they go through withdrawal symptoms for drugs and/or alcohol. There are different types of detoxification. Theyrange from drug-free to medically supervised. A common mistake that quite a few addicts make is to assume 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 somebody was using drugs in the first place.
