  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Cocaine raises levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine in the brain and central nervous system, which is associated with pleasure and increased movement.
  • Ecstasy is a mind-altering substance which can cause both hallucinogenic and amphetamine-like reactions in its users.
  • One of the most painful aspects that is related to the high incidence of drug overdose related deaths in United States, is the number of children throughout this country that are orphaned as a direct result of losing one or both of their parents to this deadly epidemic.
  • 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.
  • Individuals who use both alcohol and drugs may increase the risks of dangerous interactions between these substances and fatal poisoning.

Specialized in Hiv/Aids Patients

It is not unusual for someone with HIV/AIDS to end up in a substance abuse rehab center receiving help for severe addiction problems. Often individuals who abuse drugs and alcohol are predisposed to such diseases because of certain circumstances which afflict the drug culture such as sharing dirty syringes to inject drugs or becoming involved in risky sexual behavior because of lowered sexual inhibitions caused by drug use. Persons with HIV/AIDS should have effective rehabilitation just like any otherwise healthy addicted individual. Drug rehab programs that accept and cater to persons with HIV/AIDS offer specialized care to address any health issues that may come up in the course of treatment. This way, any physical barriers to rehabilitation are alleviated so that they can conquer their addiction and maintain a drug-free lifestyle.
