  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Many drug overdose deaths in the United States have been caused by tranquilizers and by antidepressants; some researchers estimate approximately one-quarter of the total amount of drug overdoses are related to these types of prescription drugs.
  • Heroin withdrawal typically lasts a week to 10 days while heavy methadone users can expect to undergo withdrawal for up to 6 weeks.
  • Inhalant abuse can causes damage to the myelin sheath that surrounds and protects nerve fibers and helps the nerves to carry messages to the brain.
  • Alcohol withdrawal which is considered severe can produce delirium tremens (DTs) which produces profound confusion, hallucinations, and severe autonomic nervous system over-activity.
  • High rates of current illicit drug use among individuals aged 50-59 is primarily due to the aging baby boomer generation who typically have higher rates of illicit drug use.

Detoxification

Detoxification is normally the very first step in getting off drugs. It permits an individual to be in a supervised environment while they go through withdrawal symptoms for drugs and/or alcohol. There are various types of detoxification. Theyvary from drug-free to medically supervised. A prevalent mistake that many addicts make is to assume that detox is enough to kick their habit. This is hardly ever the case. All detox does is get somebody through the withdrawal when they stop using. It is usually recommended that detox be followed up with some type of treatment plan to learn the root of why somebody was using drugs in the first place.
