  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Amphetamines suppress appetite and some users can often fail to eat properly which causes them to develop various illnesses related to vitamin deficiencies and malnutrition.
  • Ecstasy users typically come from middle and upper class households.
  • When an individual is not highly educated about all aspects of methadone use, including knowing about the way that the drug builds up in the body, they will be at risk for experiencing a potentially fatal overdose.
  • Treatment for a drug overdose is always dependent on knowing which type of drug has been used; therefore, it is critical that a person who witnesses a drug overdose bring any pills or bottles that may help the emergency medical team to determine the appropriate form of treatment.
  • Current research in the New England Journal of Medicine has reported that drug overdose is the principle cause of death in the first several weeks following a prisoner's release.
