  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • According to the Center for Disease Control, 40% of the overdose deaths in the United States in the last decade were reported to be caused by prescription pain pills.
  • American youth who abuse prescription stimulants such as Ritalin or Adderall are statistically more likely to abuse other drugs as well.
  • Ecstasy use causes a release of excess levels of the brain chemical known as dopamine, but to a much lesser extent than serotonin.
  • A methamphetamine high is much prolonged than a cocaine high, yet the cost is much the same which is why it is sometimes referred to as the "poor mans cocaine."
  • An observer of a drug overdose incident should try to remain calm, and attempt to get a response from the person by squeezing their arm and calling their name.

Detoxification

Detoxification is typically the 1st step in getting off drugs. It enables a particular person to be in a supervised environment while they go through withdrawal symptoms for drugs and/or alcohol. There are various types of detoxification. Theyrange from drug-free to medically supervised. A prevalent mistake that many addicts make is to think that detox is enough to kick their habit. This is almost never the case. All detox does is get a person through the withdrawal when they stop using. It is often recommended that detox be followed up with some type of treatment plan to discover the root of why somebody was using drugs in the first place.
