  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • In the 1970s amphetamines became a schedule II drug under the Controlled Substances Act.
  • Opiods have been reported to suppress activity in portions of the brain that control breathing; consequently, many individuals who experience a drug overdose from these types of drugs die because of a lack of oxygen reaching the body.
  • In the U.S. alone, individuals drink the equivalent of 500 million gallons of pure alcohol annually.
  • Educating physicians who prescribe prescription drugs regarding prescription drug abuse is critically important, because even brief interventions by physicians have proven effective in reducing or eliminating prescription drug abuse in individuals who are not yet addicted to them.
  • According to data collected by the Center for Disease Control (CDC), over 18,000 males and approximately 10,000 women died of a drug overdose in the United States during 2007.
