  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • A couple in West Virginia was sentenced for conspiracy to sell heroin, after turning to heroin after their doctor stopped writing prescriptions for OxyContin.
  • Heroin is a highly addictive opiate drug which can be injected, smoked, and is sometimes inhaled.
  • Effective drug rehab when completed can help prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS and other transmittable diseases because it reduces associated risk behaviors as well as drug abuse.
  • Because it is far less expensive and far longer lasting than cocaine, methamphetamine has become more popular among teens and young adults.
  • The risk of a drug overdose is always greater when using illicit street drugs, because the user can never be sure how strong the drug is that they are taking; ultimately, this can lead to serious, or even fatal consequences.

Detoxification

Detoxification is generally the first step in getting off drugs. It makes it possible for a person to be in a supervised setting while they go through withdrawal symptoms for drugs and/or alcohol. There are different types of detoxification. Theyvary from drug-free to medically supervised. A typical mistake that many addicts make is to assume that detox is enough to kick their habit. This is almost never the case. All detox does is get somebody through the withdrawal when they stop using. It is often recommended that detox be followed up with some type of treatment plan to find out the root of why someone was using drugs in the first place.
