  • An estimated 24,000 deaths from cirrhosis each year in the U.S. may be attributable to alcohol consumption.

  • Although activated charcoal administration was once considered a mainstay of treatment for patients who have experienced an acute overdose, recent studies have indicated that there is very little in the way of benefits that are derived from it.
  • All methamphetamine users, but particularly those who inject the drug, risk infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS and hepatitis.

Other Language Programs

People who speak other languages, other than English that is, should receive drug or alcohol rehabilitation which is on par with English speakers. Speakers of other languages should not feel that their treatment curriculum or treatment setting is going to be any less effective because they don't speak English. There are many drug and alcohol treatment programs available which cater to those who speak foreign languages, all of which provide a variety of programs to choose from. For example, some substance abuse treatment programs which cater to individuals who speak other languages are only short term programs, but there are more long term options available. Foreign language speakers should consult with an addiction professional in their area to choose a drug or alcohol rehab program which would be suitable to their needs.
