  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Individuals who are over age 40 at the time of admission to drug rehab were 31% more likely to complete treatment or be transferred to other drug rehab programs than individuals who were age 40 or younger at admission.
  • Alcohol increases secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, causing the nerves to send a message to the brain that the stomachs contents are hurting the body and must be expelled through vomiting.
  • The substances that are most commonly detected in drug overdose post-mortem examinations are opiates, but they are not usually the only substance that is found in the body.
  • Drugs that are commonly classified as depressants include opiates, alcohol, and benzodiazepines; a depressant overdose is most often characterized by slow or shallow breathing, blue lips, cold or clammy skin, slow or faint pulse, snoring or gurgling noises and unresponsiveness.

Hospital Inpatient Programs

Hospital inpatient drug rehabilitation is done in a hospital setting and is supervised by doctors and other medical staff. Hospital inpatient treatment is often necessary in the beginning stages of abstinence when the client may encounter the onset of life threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is sometimes the case when quitting alcohol as well as a category of prescription drugs known as benzodiazepines which should be monitored very carefully by medical professionals in case of any complications. Hospital inpatient treatment is also administered to individuals who desire a medication assisted withdrawal, as is the case with opiate addicted individuals who wish to use this type of detoxification approach to avoid the harsh withdrawal symptoms associated with heroin or other opiate withdrawal. This type of opiate detoxification is not treatment in itself however, and these people will require further counseling and therapy to fully recover from addiction.
