  • Although activated charcoal administration was once considered a mainstay of treatment for patients who have experienced an acute overdose, recent studies have indicated that there are no benefits that are derived from the use of it.
  • People who use illicit drugs are at risk for a drug overdose, as there is a fine line between the high that they are seeking and serious injury or death.
  • Abrupt cessation of Ativan, a drug in a class known as benzodiazepines, can cause withdrawal symptoms after taking typical doses of the drug for as little as one week.
  • A serious drug overdose can cause the failure of major organs such as the kidneys or the liver, or failure of entire systems, such as the respiratory or circulatory systems.
  • While a large percentage of people who have had a drug overdose have been reported to recover, a large percent of overdose cases have resulted in death.

Gays and Lesbians can sometimes have distinctive treatment needs when receiving substance abuse treatment. A specialized curriculum and treatment atmosphere which is conducive to the needs of gays and lesbians is obtainable at certain drug rehabilitation programs across the nation which recognize the unique needs and challenges which gays and lesbians will experience during recovery. Gay and lesbians can achieve full rehabilitation and recovery just like any other person in treatment, however it can be helpful for gays and lesbians to be in a supportive atmosphere which doesn't judge them or segregate them due to their sexual preference.
