  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • How a drug is administered, i.e. intravenous, intramuscular, oral or otherwise, can sometimes determine the severity of drug withdrawal symptoms.
  • About 15 years ago, over three quarters of all heroin users injected the drug, although currently that number has shrunk to 65% as the number of individuals snorting heroin has grown.
  • A recent survey indicates that over 20 million Americans aged 12 or older are current (past month) illicit opiate users, meaning they had used an illicit opiate during the month prior to the survey interview.
  • About 56% of acetaminophen overdoses occur when over-the counter acetaminophen is taken with prescription pain relievers like Vicodin which also contain acetaminophen.
  • 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.

Detoxification

Detoxification is commonly the 1st step in getting off drugs. It allows a person to be in a supervised environment while they go through withdrawal symptoms for drugs and/or alcohol. There are diverse types of detoxification. Theyrange from drug-free to medically supervised. A prevalent mistake that many addicts make is to feel that detox is sufficient to kick their habit. This is rarely the case. All detox does is get a person through the withdrawal when they stop using. It is usually recommended that detox be followed up with some type of treatment plan to learn the root of why an individual was using drugs in the first place.
