  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Currently in the United States, there is very little funding for overdose prevention; unfortunately, the overdose epidemic continues to escalate as the federal grants for these types of preventative programs are not being approved for funding.
  • Drug addicted criminal offenders who are left untreated are more likely to return to drug abuse and criminal behavior which typically results in re-arrest and re-incarceration, jeopardizing public health and public safety and taxing criminal justice system resources.
  • Alcohol destroys brain cells and unlike many other types of cells in the body, brain cells cannot regenerate themselves.
  • Crack users often report having coke bugs and think that they have insects crawling on them.
  • Due to the rapid onset of central nervous system depression that commonly occurs as the result of a methadone overdose, it is not wise to encourage the person to vomit, as this could lead to them choking.

Specialized in Hiv/Aids Patients

It is not unusual for persons with HIV/AIDS to end up in a substance abuse rehab center receiving help for serious addiction issues. Sometimes individuals who abuse drugs and alcohol are predisposed to such diseases because of certain circumstances which afflict the drug culture such as sharing dirty syringes to inject drugs or participating in risky sexual behavior because of lowered sexual inhibitions caused by drug use. Persons with HIV/AIDS deserve effective treatment just like any otherwise healthy addicted person. Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers that accept and cater to persons with HIV/AIDS offer specialized care to address any health issues that may come up in the course of treatment. This way, any physical barriers to recovery are alleviated so that they can overcome their addiction and maintain a drug-free lifestyle.
