  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • 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.
  • The substances that are most commonly detected in drug overdose post-mortem examinations are opiates, but they are very seldom the only substance that is found.
  • Even after a week of having smoked hashish, only 60-70% of the THC has left the body because it is stored in the body fat.
  • Individuals who use hashish may have withdrawal symptoms upon cessation of use and may feel irritable, have sleep problems, and weight loss-effects which can last for several days to a few weeks after drug use is stopped.
  • Even though methadone is commonly used in treating heroin addiction, a large percentage of methadone patients end up needing treatment for methadone addiction.

Specialized in Hiv/Aids Patients

It is not unusual for someone with HIV/AIDS to end up in an addiction treatment center in search of help for severe addiction problems. Sometimes people who abuse drugs and alcohol are predisposed to such diseases due to certain circumstances which afflict the drug culture such as sharing dirty needles to inject drugs or becoming involved in risky sexual behavior because of lowered sexual inhibitions caused by drug use. Persons with HIV/AIDS should have effective rehabilitation just like any otherwise healthy addicted person. Drug and alcohol treatment programs that accept and cater to persons with HIV/AIDS provide specialized care to address any health issues that may come up in the course of treatment. This way, any physical barriers to rehabilitation are resolved so that they can conquer their addiction once and for all.
