  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • In 2010, about one in five adolescents aged 12 to 17 said it would be easy to get cocaine (19.0 percent).
  • 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.
  • According to an epidemiologist for the Center for Disease Control, drug overdose death rates are currently more than double what they were during the peak years of crack cocaine mortality in the 1990's, and five times higher than the rates during the year of heroin mortality peak in 1975.
  • For 2002 and 2003, rates of marijuana use for Americans aged 12 or older was 1.8 percent, although Vermont had the highest rate at 2.7 percent.
  • Eight States among the top fifth for past month marijuana use among Americans aged 12 or older and youths aged 12 to 17 are Alaska, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Montana, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

Specialized in Hearing Impaired Clients

Anybody can become addicted to drugs or alcohol no matter their handicap, disability or personal physical challenge. This sometimes makes individuals particularly more susceptible to becoming involved in drug or alcohol use, because of the difficult challenges that this can bring about in the individual's life. This is true for individuals in the deaf and hearing impaired community as well, and treatment for substance abuse and addiction is sometimes needed. Deaf or hearing impaired persons will need ASL or other assistance as part of their treatment needs, and there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs available which cater to these needs. Professional treatment counselors who know ASL and can offer other necessary assistance to deaf or hearing impaired substance abusers.
