  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • 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.
  • Individuals with HIV tend to consume alcohol heavily well into their middle and older years, which can leave their organs at even more risk for injury.
  • In 2010 almost 50% of adolescents aged 12 to 17 said that it would be "fairly easy" or "very easy" for them to obtain marijuana if they intended to use it.
  • The single most common cause of a heroin overdose is from the user combining heroin with alcohol or some other type of central nervous system depressant.
  • Addicts who take tainted fentanyl which has been combined with other drugs so users will achieve a more intense high are at serious risk of deadly side effects and overdose.

Specialized in Hearing Impaired Clients

People can become addicted to drugs no matter their handicap, disability or personal physical challenge. This sometimes makes individuals particularly more vulnerable to becoming involved in drug or alcohol use, because of the various challenges that this can bring about in the person's life. This is true for those people in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for substance abuse and addiction is sometimes necessary. Deaf or hearing impaired individuals will need ASL or other assistance as part of their treatment needs, and there are drug rehabilitation facilities available which cater to these needs. Professional treatment counselors who know ASL and can provide other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers.
