  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • An overdose from amphetamines is generally characterized by symptoms such as a rapid heartbeat, muscle cramps, seizures, psychosis, paranoia, and confusion, loss of motor control movement, lack of consciousness, cardiac arrest, and death.
  • Because alcohol increases blood flow to the skin, alcohol consumption can cause a person to sweat and become flushed.
  • A drug overdose can often result from using multiple drugs with counter indications simultaneously, as in the case of using heroin while drinking alcohol.
  • In 2006 the FDA published a warning entitled "Methadone Use for Pain Control May Result in Death and Life-Threatening Changes in Breathing and Heart Beat, stating that the FDA has received many reports of death and life-threatening side effects in patients that have taken methadone as prescribed by their physicians for pain relief.
  • The seed of the drug overdose epidemic in the United States were planted long ago by physician's well-meaning attempts at mitigating their patients suffering, and because of the aggressive sales campaigns by pharmaceutical companies.

Hospital Inpatient Programs

Hospital inpatient substance abuse treatment is done in a hospital or similar setting and is supervised by doctors and other medical staff. Hospital inpatient treatment is often necessary in the beginning stages of abstinence when the client may encounter the onset of medically dangerous withdrawal symptoms, which is sometimes true when quitting alcohol as well as a category of prescription drugs known as benzodiazepines which must be supervised very carefully by medical professionals in case of any complications. Hospital inpatient treatment is also delivered to individuals who desire a medication assisted withdrawal, as is the case with individuals who are addicted to opiates and wish to use this type of detox approach to manage the severe withdrawal symptoms associated with heroin or other opiate withdrawal. This type of opiate detoxification is not treatment in itself however, and these individuals will require further counseling and therapy to fully recover from addiction.
