  • A 2006 analysis of Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs in the U.S. concluded that these programs are associated with lower rates of substance abuse treatment admissions.

  • An observer of a drug overdose should attempt to maintain a state of calm, and try to get a response from the person by lightly pinching the back of their arm or by calling their name; additionally, if breathing or a pulse rate is not detectable, emergency resuscitation should begin immediately.
  • Drug withdrawal symptoms can vary significantly from person to person, but some symptoms such as depression, anxiety and craving are very common under most circumstances.
