  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Heroin users who inject the drug risk infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS and hepatitis.
  • Individuals who manufacture LSD may substitute another drug, such as PCP, for LSD or include additives in the drug such as strychnine which can lead to dangerous and even deadly consequences.
  • In certain people, an interaction that could result in a potentially fatal overdose can take place when alcohol is mixed with cough medicines that contain dextromethorphan; unfortunately, there is no possible way to predict who will experience this particular, life-threatening interaction, and who will not.
  • Researchers have reported that in order for a person to consume enough marijuana to experience a fatal overdose, they would have to consume almost 40,000 times the amount of THC (the active ingredient in marijuana) required to intoxicate them. For example, if it took an individual 10 hits to become intoxicated, it would take 400,000 hits of marijuana to produce a fatal overdose.
  • Crack is made by dissolving powdered cocaine with water and ammonia or baking soda, which is then boiled until a solid substance forms. The solid is removed from the liquid, dried, and then broken into the chunks (rocks) that are sold as crack cocaine.

Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a process which must be supervised by substance abuse professionals within a drug rehab facility who realize 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 ease withdrawal symptoms or, worse yet, turn to heroin or prescription opioids to relieve symptoms. This is why methadone detoxification must only be done under strict supervision at a drug treatment center which has experience in dealing with this type of detox, and where the person can receive further recovery services to deal with all addiction issues.
