  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Heroin users who snort or smoke the drug often graduate to injection because their bodies become conditioned to the drug and the effects become less intense.
  • Individuals who abuse OxyContin may experience hypotension which is when blood pressure during and after each heartbeat is much lower than usual. This means the heart, brain, and other parts of the body do not get enough blood.
  • In 1985 Ecstasy was labeled as a Schedule I substance under the Controlled Substances Act, and has a high potential for abuse and serves no legitimate medical purpose.
  • Drug withdrawal from certain drugs such as benzodiazepines or alcohol can cause life threatening symptoms, and therefore the abrupt discontinuation of any type of drug without medical or professional detox supervision is not recommended.
  • Inhalant abuse may cause suppressed immunologic function and increase the risk of injury to red blood cells, which can interfere with the oxygen supply to vital tissues.

Specialized in Hiv/Aids Patients

It is not uncommon for someone with HIV/AIDS to end up in a drug rehabilitation center in search of help for severe addiction issues. Often people who abuse drugs and alcohol are predisposed to such diseases because of certain circumstances which afflict the drug culture such as sharing dirty needles to inject drugs or becoming involved in risky sexual behavior because of lowered sexual inhibitions caused by drug use. Persons with HIV/AIDS should have effective treatment just like any otherwise healthy addicted person. Drug and alcohol treatment programs 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 conquer their addiction and maintain a drug-free lifestyle.
