  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Many pharmacists in the United States have often dubbed methadone as the "scary pill", because sometimes people do not get the immediate pain relief that they want from this drug, so they take more than they should, which could potentially result in a fatal overdose.
  • Among Americans aged 12 or older in the nation, 39 million (16.3 percent) have used both a prescription psychotherapeutic drug for non-medical purposes as well as illicit drugs in their lifetime. Only 9 million (3.6 percent) report use of psychotherapeutic drugs without use of other non-medical illicit drugs.
  • Currently in the United States, mortality statistics suggests that the largest majority of drug overdose deaths are directly related to the misuse of prescription drugs.
  • During the 1960s PCP was widely abused until users became unhappy with the long delay between taking the drug and feeling its effects, and with the unpredictable and often violent behavior which often occurred with its use.

Alternative Housing - Transitional Living

A halfway house is a transitional living facility where an individual who is trying to recover from alcohol or drug addiction can stabilize and re-acclimate to life and society as a drug free individual. A halfway house is a place where someone can feel secure and repair their life while recovering from addiction while also participate in activities which will help them do just that. Halfway houses supply the perfect opportunity for individuals to be in an atmosphere where they can acquire additional counseling and different types of therapy while also learning new trades or discovering stable employment so that they can support a healthy and drug free lifestyle.
