  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • GHB can be psychologically addictive, especially for users who have a history of chemical dependency.
  • Although heroin withdrawal is considered less dangerous than alcohol or barbiturate withdrawal, sudden withdrawal by chronic and long term heroin users who are in poor health can be fatal.
  • Alcoholics may develop deficiencies in thiamine which can lead to "Korsakoffs Syndrome", a disorder which can cause amnesia, apathy and disorientation.
  • Although crack cocaine overdose is uncommon, it does occur and can be fatal.
  • Alcohol use slows signal transmission in the brain which may cause some of the effects associated with alcohol intoxication, including sleepiness and sedation.

Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a course of action which must be supervised by addiction professionals within a drug rehab program who realize how difficult and challenging methadone detox can be. Methadone detox is known to be far more severe in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and individuals frequently revert back to methadone to ease withdrawal symptoms or, worse yet, turn to heroin or prescription opioids to alleviate symptoms. This is why methadone detoxification must only be done under close supervision at a drug rehabilitation center which has experience in dealing with this type of detox, and where the individual can receive further rehabilitation services to address all addiction issues.
