  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Crack is made by dissolving powdered cocaine with water and ammonia or baking soda, which is then boiled until a solid substance forms. The solid is removed from the liquid, dried, and then broken into the chunks (rocks) that are sold as crack cocaine.
  • Shock, dismay, awareness of mortality, and guilt may be present after an individual has experienced a drug overdose; drug treatment counseling can help a survivor to get on the right path so that they can experience drug recovery and new life.
  • Crack is five to six times more potent than powder cocaine which is typically purchased on the street.
  • Drinking five alcoholic drinks over the course of two hours may raise the blood alcohol level to 0.10 percent, which is considered to be legally intoxicated in every state.
  • Crystal meth can be detected in the urine using standard drug tests for 2 to 3 days.

Detoxification

Detoxification is generally the 1st step in getting off drugs. It permits an individual 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 common mistake that many addicts make is to feel that detox is enough to kick their habit. This is seldom the case. All detox does is get someone through the withdrawal when they stop using. It is often recommended that detox be followed up with some type of treatment plan to find out the root of why someone was using drugs in the first place.
