  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Drugs such as methadone suppress the central nervous system which slows down body functioning and reduces physical and psychological pain.
  • Fentanyl is hundreds of times more potent than street heroin, and tends to produce significantly worse respiratory depression, making it a dangerous drug for heroin abusers to play around with.
  • Taking Ritalin with large amounts of stomach antacid medications increases the amount of the drug that is present in the bloodstream; this type of drug interaction greatly increases the risk of a Ritalin overdose.
  • How a drug is administered, i.e. intravenous, intramuscular, oral or otherwise, can sometimes determine the severity of drug withdrawal symptoms.
  • Having children is related to lower alcohol use for both men and women, which may be partially due to having gotten married.

Detoxification

Detoxification is generally the very first step in getting off drugs. It makes it possible for a person to be in a supervised setting while they go through withdrawal symptoms for drugs and/or alcohol. There are different types of detoxification. Theyrange from drug-free to medically supervised. A widespread mistake that many addicts make is to believe that detox is sufficient to kick their habit. This is almost never the case. All detox does is get a person through the withdrawal when they stop using. It is usually recommended that detox be followed up with some type of treatment plan to discover the root of why a person was using drugs in the first place.
