  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • In the past there were very few milligrams of actual heroin found in a bag of the drug, as most of the bag was filled with additives like sugar, powdered milk, or quinine.
  • Heroin depresses breathing which means an overdose can be fatal.
  • A drug overdose occurs when a person's metabolism cannot filter out the substance fast enough, subsequently resulting in harmful side-effects.
  • High concentrations of inhalants in the body may result in death from heart failure or suffocation (inhalants displace oxygen in the lungs).
  • Ativan is the brand name for the generic drug Lorazepam, which is used to treat anxiety.

Detoxification

Detoxification is usually the 1st step in getting off drugs. It allows 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. Theyvary from drug-free to medically supervised. A prevalent mistake that a lot of addicts make is to think that detox is enough to kick their habit. This is rarely the case. All detox does is get an individual through the withdrawal when they stop using. It is at all times recommended that detox be followed up with some type of treatment plan to discover the root of why someone was using drugs in the first place.
