  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • GHB is a drug which was initially synthesized in France more than forty years ago for use as a possible anesthetic.
  • The risk of a drug overdose is always greater when using illicit street drugs, because the user can never be sure how strong the drug is that they are taking; ultimately, this can lead to serious, or even fatal consequences.
  • Depression is more common among the elderly than other age groups, and tends to co-occur with problem drinking.
  • Alcoholism and alcohol dependence are characterized by a strong craving for alcohol, and/or continued use despite harm or personal injury.
  • As of 2010 it was estimated that 50% of Americans aged 12 and older were current drinkers of alcohol, which is about 131.3 million people, similar to the 2009 estimate of 130.6 million people.

Detoxification

Detoxification is normally the 1st step in getting off drugs. It allows a particular person to be in a supervised setting 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 widespread mistake that a lot of addicts make is to feel that detox is enough to kick their habit. This is hardly ever the case. All detox does is get an individual through the withdrawal when they stop using. It is often recommended that detox be followed up with some type of treatment plan to uncover the root of why a person was using drugs in the first place.
