  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Alcohol increases blood flow to the stomach and intestine, which increases secretions by these organs, including significant stomach acid secretion which can cause irritation and damage.
  • Alcohol causes a break down in the bodys store of glycogen in the liver, turning it into glucose and sending it out of the body in the urine causing weakness, fatigue and lack coordination after a night of heavy alcohol consumption.
  • Individuals who abuse OxyContin may experience hypotension which is when blood pressure during and after each heartbeat is much lower than usual. This means the heart, brain, and other parts of the body do not get enough blood.
  • Treatment for a drug overdose is always dependent on knowing which type of drug has been used; therefore, it is critical that a person who witnesses a drug overdose bring any pills or bottles that may help the emergency medical team to determine the appropriate form of treatment.
  • Alcohol actually extracts water from the body and the brain, and it is this dehydration that causes the typical hangover.

Rehabilitation from drug or alcohol addiction is a process that can be challenging and in a lot ofways intimidating. This is why some women seeking recovery feel more comfortable in treatment centers created specifically for women. Women who are addicted to drugs or alcohol typicallyhave personal issues that are considerably different than their male counter parts. In a drug or alcohol rehab center where all the clients are women, the recovering addict will feel more at ease and will be able to work through her personal issues that led to her drug abuse and addiction problems. Statistics show that up to seventy percent of women with addiction problems report having some type of sexual or physical abuse in their past. These sensitive issues are easier to address in the company of other women without fear of judgment or ridicule.
