  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Researchers have reported that in order for a person to consume enough marijuana to experience a fatal overdose, they would have to consume almost 40,000 times the amount of THC (the active ingredient in marijuana) required to intoxicate them. For example, if it took an individual 10 hits to become intoxicated, it would take 400,000 hits of marijuana to produce a fatal overdose.
  • In 2010 there were 7.0 million individuals in the nation aged 12 or older who used prescription-type psychotherapeutic drugs non-medically in the past month. These estimates were similar to the previous year (7.0 million) and 2002 (6.3 million), showing little or no change with this problem.
  • The number of Vicodin overdoses has risen dramatically in the United States, because the drug is much cheaper and some insurance plans do not cover the more expensive prescription pain medications.
  • Being in a drug rehab setting while coming off of Lortab makes it less likely that the individual will relapse back into use of the drug.
  • Drug craving and depression experienced during crack withdrawal can last for several weeks and months following cessation of long-term heavy use of the drug.

Detoxification

Detoxification is typically the first step in getting off drugs. It makes it possible for an individual to be in a supervised environment while they go through withdrawal symptoms for drugs and/or alcohol. There are various types of detoxification. Theyrange from drug-free to medically supervised. A common mistake that quite a few addicts make is to believe that detox is sufficient to kick their habit. This is seldom the case. All detox does is get someone through the withdrawal when they stop using. It is at all times recommended that detox be followed up with some type of treatment plan to find out the root of why somebody was using drugs in the first place.
