  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Methadone is one of the strongest opiates. It has a slow onset of action and a long half-life and causes severe respiratory depression which is usually the cause of death.
  • When a life-threatening drug overdose is the result of a drug addiction problem, an individual should receive substance abuse treatment as soon as possible.
  • Individuals who consume more than 60 grams of alcohol a day, equivalent to four to five glasses of wine, are at an elevated risk of developing liver cancer for both men and women.
  • Hashish users who use the drug in large quantities can experience exacerbation of pre-existing cardiovascular disease, as cannabis use significantly raises the heart rate.
  • Drug-induced changes in brain function directly affects the way an addicted individual exerts control over the impulse to use drugs despite the negative consequences-the defining characteristic of drug addiction.

Specialized in Hiv/Aids Patients

It is not unusual for someone with HIV/AIDS to end up in an addiction treatment center receiving help for severe addiction issues. Sometimes people who abuse drugs and alcohol are predisposed to such diseases due to certain circumstances which afflict the drug culture such as sharing dirty needles to inject drugs or participating in risky sexual behavior because of lowered sexual inhibitions caused by drug use. Persons with HIV/AIDS deserve effective rehabilitation just like any otherwise healthy addicted person. Substance abuse treatment centers that accept and cater to persons with HIV/AIDS offer specialized care to address any health issues that may come up in the course of treatment. This way, any physical barriers to recovery are resolved so that they can conquer their addiction and maintain a drug-free lifestyle.
