  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • About 15 years ago, over three quarters of all heroin users injected the drug, although currently that number has shrunk to 65% as the number of individuals snorting heroin has grown.
  • Hashish users can become sensitive to their surroundings where they experience a more vivid sense of taste, sight, smell and hearing.
  • Methadone overdoses have skyrocket in the United States, because the drug is much cheaper and some insurance plans do not cover the more expensive prescription pain medications.
  • About one-half to two-thirds of boating accidents happen as a result of alcohol intoxication.
  • The drug overdose epidemic is centered in middle-aged America; because this particular population is "not supposed to abuse drugs"; the media virtually ignores this dire situation.

Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a process which must be supervised by addiction professionals within a drug treatment center who recognize how difficult and challenging methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detox is regarded to be far more severe in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and individuals often revert back to methadone to relieve withdrawal symptoms or, worse yet, turn to heroin or prescription opioids to relieve symptoms. This is why methadone detox must only be done under strict supervision at a drug treatment center which has experience in handling this type of detox, and where the individual can receive additional treatment services to address all addiction issues.
