  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Alcohol slows reaction time and impairs judgment and coordination, skills which are needed to drive a motor vehicle safely. The more alcohol consumed, the greater the impairment.
  • In certain people, an interaction that could result in a potentially fatal overdose can take place when alcohol is mixed with cough medicines that contain dextromethorphan; unfortunately, there is no possible way to predict who will experience this particular, life-threatening interaction, and who will not.
  • Because Ecstasy affects heart rate and blood pressure, people with preexisting circulatory or cardiac disease should not take the drug.
  • The substances that are most commonly detected in drug overdose post-mortem examinations are opiates, but they are not usually the only substance that is found in the body.
  • According to researchers around the globe, drug overdose deaths are increasing around the world in tandem with the increasing medical and nonmedical use of prescription narcotic pain relievers.

Detoxification

Detoxification is normally the initial step in getting off drugs. It makes it possible for a particular person to be in a supervised setting while they go through withdrawal symptoms for drugs and/or alcohol. There are different types of detoxification. Theyvary from drug-free to medically supervised. A frequent mistake that many addicts make is to assume that detox is enough to kick their habit. This is hardly ever the case. All detox does is get an individual 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 uncover the root of why someone was using drugs in the first place.
