  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • By age 25-30, children of alcoholics tend to have levels of drug use "substantially higher" than children of non-alcoholics.
  • According to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, during 2010, drug overdoses exceeded fatal car accidents nationwide.
  • Drug withdrawal from certain drugs such as benzodiazepines or alcohol can cause life threatening symptoms, and therefore the abrupt discontinuation of any type of drug without medical or professional detox supervision is not recommended.
  • In the workplace, individuals with less than a high school education are more likely to report current illicit drug use than workers with higher education, with college graduates boasting the lowest rates.
  • An average alcoholic drink will take about 10 hours for the average person to process. The more alcohol that is consumed, the greater the rise in blood alcohol content.

Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a course of action which should be overseen by substance abuse professionals within a drug rehab facility who recognize how challenging and difficult methadone detox can be. Methadone detox is known to be far more severe in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and users frequently revert back to methadone to alleviate withdrawal symptoms or, worse yet, turn to heroin or prescription opioids to ease symptoms. This is why methadone detox should only be done under close supervision at a drug rehabilitation center which has practical experience in dealing with this type of detoxification, and where the individual can receive further treatment services to handle all addiction issues.
