  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • A study of gay and bisexual men in Seattle, Washington and San Jose, California indicates that methamphetamine use often occurs in tandem with unsafe sex practices. Many study subjects also reported that they already had HIV infection or AIDS.
  • Amphetamines were the primary factor for 5% of the 1.6 million treatment admissions to publicly funded substance abuse treatment facilities in 1999, an increase from approximately 2 percent in 1993.
  • Inhalant use can cause a sense of euphoria, but it can also cause dizziness and make the user violently ill as well as numb in the upper and lower extremities.
  • Inhalant abuse may result in drowsiness, lightheadedness and agitation and in some cases a general feeling of disassociation.
  • Opiods have been reported to suppress activity in portions of the brain that control breathing; consequently, many individuals who experience a drug overdose from these types of drugs die because of a lack of oxygen reaching the body.

Native American or Alaska Native Languages

Native Americans and Alaska Natives have much higher rates of abuse and addiction than other ethnicities, a circumstance which must be addressed for these cultures to survive. In fact, Native American and Alaska youth have some of the highest rates of alcohol and drug abuse in the country. While the reasons may vary from person to person, most of the reasons for the high rates of substance abuse among Native American and Alaska natives are cultural ones. The biggest barrier to treating Native Americans and Alaska Natives for substance abuse and addiction are culture differences and language. This is why it is vital that Native Americans and Alaska Natives receive substance abuse treatment in a drug rehab program that is culturally acceptable, but most importantly in one that takes into the account the need to provide treatment in their language.
