  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Substance abuse experts in the United States suspect that the rise in heroin drug overdose deaths are due to fluctuations in the drug's purity levels.
  • Alcohol is an irritant to the stomach, and it is common for someone who drinks in excess to vomit putting the person in danger of choking on their own vomit. This can cause death by asphyxiation in a person who is not conscious because of intoxication.
  • In 2008 about 4 million Americans aged 12 or older reported trying heroin at least once during their lifetimes.
  • During a cocaine binge the drug is taken repeatedly for many hours or even days and users often experience increasing restlessness, irritability and paranoia and even paranoid psychosis in some cases with auditory hallucinations and a disconnection with reality.
  • According to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, during 2009, drug overdoses exceeded motor vehicle accidents, killing at over 37,000 people nationwide.

Detoxification

Detoxification is generally the initial step in getting off drugs. It allows an individual to be in a supervised setting while they go through withdrawal symptoms for drugs and/or alcohol. There are diverse types of detoxification. Theyvary from drug-free to medically supervised. A prevalent mistake that many addicts make is to feel that detox is sufficient to kick their habit. This is almost never 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 uncover the root of why an individual was using drugs in the first place.
