  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Alcohol increases blood flow to the stomach and intestine, which increases secretions by these organs, including significant stomach acid secretion which can cause irritation and damage.
  • Hashish can leave an user in a "couchlock" state, where they become extremely focused on a singular action or topic, sometimes leading to an unproductive state.
  • Alcohol depresses body functions that play a key role in involuntary actions such as breathing and the gag reflex which prevents choking. A fatal dose of alcohol will eventually stop these functions.
  • If someone has been abusing Valium and is addicted to it, a detox should be followed up with a drug treatment program which treats benzodiazepine addiction to ensure that the individual stays off of Valium and other drugs for good.
  • In a recent court case in the United States, a boyfriend who administered drugs that caused his 30 year old girl friend to experience a deadly drug overdose was ordered to pay $11,459 in funeral costs as a part of his court sentence for the delivery of a controlled substance.

Hospital Inpatient Programs

Hospital inpatient drug or alcohol treatment is done in a hospital setting and is overseen by doctors and other medical staff. Hospital inpatient treatment is sometimes necessary in the beginning stages of abstinence when the client may encounter the onset of medically dangerous withdrawal symptoms, which is sometimes true when quitting alcohol as well as a category of prescription drugs known as benzodiazepines which should be monitored very carefully by medical professionals in case of any complications. Hospital inpatient treatment is also administered to individuals who desire a medication assisted withdrawal, as is the case with opiate addicted individuals who wish to use this type of detoxification technique to manage the harsh withdrawal symptoms associated with heroin or other opiate withdrawal. This type of opiate detoxification is not considered full rehabilitation and these individuals will need additional counseling and therapy to entirely recover from addiction.
