  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Some drug overdose deaths that are linked to heroin are actually caused by the adverse reaction to adulterants such as quinine.
  • In 2006 the FDA published a warning entitled "Methadone Use for Pain Control May Result in Death and Life-Threatening Changes in Breathing and Heart Beat, stating that the FDA has received many reports of death and life-threatening side effects in patients that have taken methadone as prescribed by their physicians for pain relief.
  • Individuals who use methamphetamine are keen about the rapid vaporization of the drug, and spread the powdered methamphetamine on aluminum foil, heat the foil, and inhale the fumes that are released.
  • 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 is very little in the way of benefits that are derived from it.
  • Chronic crystal meth users who inject the drug also risk scarred or collapsed veins, infections of the heart lining and valves, abscesses, pneumonia, tuberculosis, and liver or kidney disease.

Gays and Lesbians can sometimes have unique treatment needs when receiving substance abuse treatment. A specialized curriculum and treatment setting which is conducive to the needs of gays and lesbians is offered at certain drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities around the country which understand the unique needs and challenges which gays and lesbians will encounter during recovery. Gay and lesbians can achieve full rehabilitation and recovery just like any other person in treatment, although it can be helpful for gays and lesbians to be in a supportive atmosphere which doesn't judge them or segregate them because of their sexual preference.
