  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Prescription opiate abuse, particularly in relation to drugs such as OxyContin, is responsible for a large percentage of the increase in the rates of drug overdoses throughout the United States today.
  • Crystal meth users who inject the drug put themselves at risk of contracting HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), hepatitis B and C, and other blood-borne viruses through shared needles.
  • When an individual is not highly educated about all aspects of methadone use, including knowing about the way that the drug builds up in the body, they will be at risk for experiencing a potentially fatal overdose.
  • In Russia, heroin or other opiate addicted individuals receive narcotic detox and rehab instead of methadone maintenance treatment.
  • In the state of Washington, when an individual dies of a drug overdose from an illegal drug, the individual who has supplied the drug has committed "controlled-substance homicide," according to a law that was passed during 1987.

Adolescents (18 and under)

It is an unfortunate fact that many adolescents in the United States become exposed to drugs and alcohol at a very young age, and some even become addicted and dependent to drugs and/or alcohol. For adolescents who do become addicted and dependent to drugs and alcohol, parents must be willing to do whatever it takes to get the problem resolved before it is too late. Any suspicion that drugs or alcohol are in the picture should be addressed immediately, otherwise, addiction will lead down a path of total destruction for the adolescent as well as for the family. There are drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for adolescents available in every state, many of which cater only to adolescents and have treatment professionals on staff that are trained specifically in dealing with this age range.
