  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • It is important for an observer of a drug overdose to question the patient about what drugs they have taken, as by the time they reach the hospital, they may have be unconscious, and therefore may be unable to communicate.
  • GHB use can cause giddiness, rambling or incoherent speech, sedation and an increased desire for sleep.
  • Many individuals who die of a drug overdose that is related to prescription medications have altered the drugs by crushing and snorting them or dissolving and injecting them.
  • As of 2009, over 23% of Americans age 12 and older had binged (5+ drinks within 2 hours) on alcohol in the past 30 days.
  • Fentanyl can be worn as a patch and can also be taken orally, but like heroin, it can also be smoked, snorted or injected.

Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a process which must be supervised by substance abuse professionals within a drug treatment center who recognize how difficult and challenging methadone detox can be. Methadone detox is regarded to be far more severe in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and users typically revert back to methadone to alleviate withdrawal symptoms or, worse yet, turn to heroin or prescription opioids to relieve symptoms. This is why methadone detoxification must only be done under close supervision at a drug rehabilitation facility which has experience in dealing with this type of detox, and where the individual can receive further recovery services to deal with all addiction issues.
