  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Extremely high doses individuals who use amphetamines may experience flushing, pallor, very rapid or irregular heartbeat, tremors, loss of coordination, and collapse.
  • Counselors at drug rehabs must monitor drug use continuously during treatment, due to that fact that relapses are common but preventable.
  • A "bag" or single dose of heroin contains around 50 milligrams of powder.
  • Drug overdose deaths are medico-legal cases investigated by medical examiners or coroners. Although medical examiner charts are recognized as a key source of information for monitoring such deaths, the accuracy of official statistics on drug mortality remains uncertain.
  • The Office of National Drug Control Policy opposes making naloxone widely available, because they do not want the opioid antidote to be handled by non-medical professionals.

Detox for Methadone

Methadone detoxification is a process which must be overseen by addiction professionals within a drug rehab program who recognize how challenging and difficult methadone detoxification can be. Methadone detox is known to be far more serious in terms of symptoms and duration than even heroin detox, and individuals frequently revert back to methadone to ease withdrawal symptoms or, worse yet, turn to heroin or prescription opioids to alleviate symptoms. This is why methadone detoxification must only be done under close supervision at a drug rehabilitation facility which has practical experience in handling this type of detox, and where the individual can receive additional rehabilitation services to deal with all addiction issues.
