  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Cocaine has been in use for more than 5000 years, although the toxic dose or the amount of cocaine that will cause death or some significant medical consequence is unknown.
  • Drugs that are commonly classified as depressants include opiates, alcohol, and benzodiazepines; a depressant overdose is most often characterized by slow or shallow breathing, blue lips, cold or clammy skin, slow or faint pulse, snoring or gurgling noises and unresponsiveness.
  • Chronic methamphetamine use will almost always result in a tolerance to the drug, and users often try to intensify the desired effects by taking higher doses more frequently or changing the method of administration.
  • Although heroin withdrawal is considered less dangerous than alcohol or barbiturate withdrawal, sudden withdrawal by chronic and long term heroin users who are in poor health can be fatal.
  • Between 2005 and2009 among males between the ages of 21 and 34, the number of emergency room visits involving opiates increased significantly from 7,185 to 11,509 visits.

Detox for Methadone

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