  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • In 2009, over 600,000 Americans age 12 and older had abused heroin at least once in the year prior to being surveyed.
  • The skyrocketing rate of drug overdoses in the United States is not surprising, as opioid analgesics are increasingly being prescribed to individuals; according to a recent government survey, one in five adults and one in ten kids have received some form of opiate pain prescription within the past year.
  • At college campuses across the United States, students reported that the number one reason that they did not immediately call for medical assistance in the case of a drug or alcohol overdose, was due to the fear of getting the person or themselves in trouble with parents or school officials.
  • Alcohol abuse can greatly suppress the immune system, and individuals addicted to alcohol are more susceptible to infections such as tuberculosis, pneumonia, bacterial infections, or HIV/AIDS.
  • Doctor shopping is when individuals who wish to use OxyContin to get high visit numerous doctors to obtain prescriptions; the most common form of illegal diversion of the drug.
