  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • A "bag" or single dose of heroin contains around 50 milligrams of powder.
  • As cocaine passes through many hands from the importer to the user, it is usually diluted ("cut" or "stepped on") at each stage of distribution from about 95% pure to as little as 1% pure in some cases.
  • According to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the drug overdose mortality trend in the United States closely correlates with the rapid rise in sales of opioid analgesics per capita.
  • Heroin withdrawal typically lasts a week to 10 days while heavy methadone users can expect to undergo withdrawal for up to 6 weeks.
  • In the past there were very few milligrams of actual heroin found in a bag of the drug, as most of the bag was filled with additives like sugar, powdered milk, or quinine.

This particular group of addicted persons faces not only the personal shame of their addiction but also the reality of what their unhealthy choices may have caused their children.
