  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Drug overdose deaths in the United States have historically been linked to urban areas; according to recent government statistics, the rate of drug overdose deaths in rural areas throughout the U.S. has increased dramatically.
  • As cocaine passes through many hands from the importer to the user, it is usually diluted ("cut" or "stepped on") at each stage of distribution from about 95% pure to as little as 1% pure in some cases.
  • Drug rehab counselors should assess individuals for diseases such as HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B and C, tuberculosis, and other infectious diseases to ensure their medical needs are met as part of the rehab process.
  • Overdose deaths can be intentional or unintentional, and they can result from both licit and illicit drug abuse. Drugs commonly implicated in overdose deaths are alcohol, psychoactive medications, analgesics, illicit drugs such as cocaine and heroin, and multiple drugs taken concomitantly.
  • Drugs such as methadone compromise the functionality of some of the major organs in the body, the liver and kidneys in particular.

Detoxification

Detoxification is normally the very first step in getting off drugs. It permits a particular person to be in a supervised environment while they go through withdrawal symptoms for drugs and/or alcohol. There are various types of detoxification. Theyvary from drug-free to medically supervised. A typical mistake that quite a few addicts make is to assume that detox is enough to kick their habit. This is rarely the case. All detox does is get a person 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 find out the root of why an individual was using drugs in the first place.
