  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • The skyrocketing rate of drug overdoses in the United States is not surprising, as opioid analgesics are increasingly being prescribed to individuals; according to a recent government survey, one in five adults and one in ten kids have received some form of opiate pain prescription within the past year.
  • According to an epidemiologist for the Center for Disease Control, drug overdose death rates are currently more than double what they were during the peak years of crack cocaine mortality in the 1990's, and five times higher than the rates during the year of heroin mortality peak in 1975.
  • In 2010, over 11% of individuals aged 12 or older drove under the influence of alcohol at least once in the past year, a rate which was highest among persons aged 21 to 25 (23.4 percent).
  • A methamphetamine overdose may be characterized by a rapid onset of physiological deterioration that can quickly lead to a heart attack or a stroke.
  • According to the director of the National Director of the Poison Control Center, reports concerning Bath Salts have increased 25% in the first six months of 2011 when taking into account the number of calls received the previous year.

Other Language Programs

Those who speak other languages, other than English that is, should be able to receive substance abuse treatment which is on par with English speakers. Speakers of other languages should not feel that their treatment curriculum or treatment setting is going to be any less effective because they don't speak English. There are many substance abuse treatment programs available which provide services to those who speak foreign languages, all of which provide a selection of programs to choose from. For example, some drug treatment facilities which provide services for those who speak other languages are only short term rehab facilities, and others are longer term programs. Foreign language speakers should consult with a treatment professional in their area to choose a drug rehabilitation facility which would be suitable to their needs.
