  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • An overdose from cocaine can cause a serious increase in blood pressure, which as a result can cause bleeding in the brain leading to a higher possibility of a stroke.
  • As the morphine withdrawal progresses users may experience elevated blood pressure, chills with goose bumps alternating with hot flashes, kicking movements of the legs and excessive sweating, severe pains in the bones and muscles and muscle spasms.
  • Although heroin withdrawal is considered less dangerous than alcohol or barbiturate withdrawal, sudden withdrawal by chronic and long term heroin users who are in poor health can be fatal.
  • Individuals who use Ecstasy often lose touch with time and experience other changes in perception, such as an enhanced sense of touch.
  • 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.

Detoxification

Detoxification is generally the initial step in getting off drugs. It makes it possible for an individual to be in a supervised setting while they go through withdrawal symptoms for drugs and/or alcohol. There are different types of detoxification. Theyrange from drug-free to medically supervised. A widespread mistake that many addicts make is to believe that detox is enough to kick their habit. This is seldom the case. All detox does is get somebody through the withdrawal when they stop using. It is at all times recommended that detox be followed up with some type of treatment plan to uncover the root of why someone was using drugs in the first place.
