  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • The prescription medications that are most commonly reported to be linked to accidental or intentional drug overdose deaths in the United States include, but are not limited to Soma, Oxycontin, Vicodin and Xanax; one of the most potent drugs that is a relative newcomer to the prescription drug scene in Fentanyl.
  • During 2004, an estimated 1.6 Americans reported non-medical use of prescription tranquilizers in the past month.
  • Drug abuse and addiction can hasten the progression of HIV and the consequences associated with the disease, particularly in the brain.
  • Aside from the euphoric and pain killing properties of fentanyl, it can produce extreme drowsiness, respiratory depression and arrest, nausea, confusion, sedation, unconsciousness, and coma.
  • Overdose of OxyContin is serious and may require hospitalization. Occasionally, the individual needs to be temporarily hooked to a ventilator to help him breathe until the OxyContin wears off.

Adolescents (18 and under)

It is a disturbing fact that many adolescents in the United States become exposed to drugs and alcohol at a very young age, and some even become addicted and dependent to drugs and/or alcohol. For adolescents who do become addicted and dependent to drugs and alcohol, parents must take every step possible to help their child before it is too late. Any suspicion that drugs or alcohol are in the picture should be addressed right away, otherwise, addiction will lead down a path of total destruction for the adolescent and for the family. There are drug rehab facilities for adolescents available in every state, many of which cater only to adolescents and have treatment professionals and counselors on staff that are trained specifically in handling this age group.
