  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • High doses of amphetamines may produce fever, sweating, headache, blurred vision, and dizziness.
  • Drug withdrawal from certain drugs such as benzodiazepines or alcohol can cause life threatening symptoms, and therefore the abrupt discontinuation of any type of drug without medical or professional detox supervision is not recommended.
  • Alcohol actually extracts water from the body and the brain, and it is this dehydration that causes the typical hangover.
  • For heroin addicts, craving and relapse may occur weeks and months after withdrawal symptoms are long gone.
  • Cocaine raises levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine in the brain and central nervous system, which is associated with pleasure and increased movement.

Detoxification

Detoxification is normally the initial step in getting off drugs. It enables an individual to be in a supervised environment 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 typical mistake that many addicts make is to believe that detox is enough to kick their habit. This is hardly ever the case. All detox does is get a person through the withdrawal when they stop using. It is always 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.
