  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • During 2010, the average age of first non-medical use of prescription tranquilizers in the U.S. was 24.6 years.
  • Public health experts in the U.S. have characterized the nation's current increase in the cases of drug overdoses as an epidemic that must be dealt with immediately, according to a recent Los Angeles Times article.
  • GHB is very powerful sedative which can cause the user to fall into a very deep sleep.
  • Alcohol is the first fuel to be metabolized when combined with carbohydrates, fats and proteins, which postpones the fat-burning process and results in greater fat storage.
  • Researchers have reported that in order for a person to consume enough marijuana to experience a fatal overdose, they would have to consume almost 40,000 times the amount of THC (the active ingredient in marijuana) required to intoxicate them. For example, if it took an individual 10 hits to become intoxicated, it would take 400,000 hits of marijuana to produce a fatal overdose.

Hospital Inpatient Programs

Hospital inpatient drug rehabilitation is performed in a hospital setting and is overseen by doctors and other medical staff. Hospital inpatient treatment is sometimes necessary in the beginning stages of abstinence when the client may encounter the onset of life threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is sometimes true when quitting alcohol as well as a category of prescription drugs known as benzodiazepines which must be monitored very carefully by medical professionals to minimize ant dangerous health complications. Hospital inpatient treatment is also delivered to those who desire a medication assisted withdrawal, as is the case with individuals who are addicted to opiates and wish to use this type of detox approach to manage the severe withdrawal symptoms associated with heroin or other opiate withdrawal. This type of opiate detox is not considered full rehabilitation and these individuals will require additional counseling and therapy to fully recover from addiction.
