  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Because crack cocaine decreases appetite, long-time crack users often become malnourished.
  • Cocaine raises levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine in the brain and central nervous system, which is associated with pleasure and increased movement.
  • Heroin was a factor in 213,118 emergency room visits in 2009.
  • A number of fatal fentanyl overdoses have been caused by time-release fentanyl patches which were prescribed to legitimate users for pain; a defect caused the patch to malfunction causing an excessive amount of the drug to leak and become absorbed by patients, resulting in life-threatening side effects and death in some cases.
  • A heroin overdose as a result of snorting, smoking, or injecting the drug, can cause slow and shallow breathing, convulsions, coma, and even death.

Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a process which must be overseen by drug addiction professionals within a drug treatment facility who understand how difficult and challenging methadone detox can be. Methadone detox is regarded to be far more serious in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and individuals typically revert back to methadone to alleviate withdrawal symptoms or, worse yet, turn to heroin or prescription opioids to ease symptoms. This is why methadone detoxification should only be done under close supervision at a drug treatment center which has practical experience in handling this type of detox, and where the person can receive additional rehabilitation services to handle all addiction issues.
