  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Even though other analgesics such as hydromorphone and fentanyl have a high abuse potential, morphine is still considered to be far more addictive.
  • Mortality rates from unintentional drug overdoses have risen consistently since the early 1970's and have reached historic highs over the last decade in the United States.
  • Increased methadone use as an analgesic in the U.S. has come about as physicians search for an opioid drug that can be dosed less frequently than short-acting drugs like morphine or hydrocodone.
  • Ambien abuse is considered taking more than the recommended dose (over 10 mg), for a few weeks.
  • Alcohol affects the area of the brain responsible for movement and balance, resulting in the staggering, off-balance swagger that is referred to as "falling-down drunk."

Adolescents (18 and under)

It is an unfortunate fact that many adolescents in the United States become introduced to drugs and alcohol at a very young age, and some even become addicted and dependent to drugs and/or alcohol. For adolescents who do become addicted and dependent to drugs and alcohol, parents must be willing to do whatever it takes to get the problem resolved before it is too late. Any indication that drugs or alcohol are in the picture should be confronted right away, otherwise, addiction will lead down a path of total destruction for the adolescent and for the family. There are drug and alcohol rehab programs for adolescents available in every state, many of which cater only to adolescents and have treatment professionals and counselors on staff that are trained specifically in dealing with this age range.
