  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • In the not so distant past, most drug overdoses were due to illicit narcotics such as heroin; additionally, most of the past drug overdose deaths were reported to occur in big cities. Currently, the rate of drug overdoses that are related to street drugs are reported to have decreased drastically throughout the U.S.
  • As of 2009, over 1 million Americans aged 12 and older had abused methamphetamine at least once in the year prior to being surveyed.
  • In 2010, over 11% of individuals aged 12 or older drove under the influence of alcohol at least once in the past year, a rate which was highest among persons aged 21 to 25 (23.4 percent).
  • Different types of alcohol can cause different hangover symptoms, because some types of alcoholic drinks have a higher concentration of congeners, byproducts of fermentation in some alcohol.
  • Although activated charcoal administration was once considered a mainstay of treatment for patients who have experienced an acute overdose, recent studies have indicated that there are no benefits that are derived from the use of it.

Hospital Inpatient Programs

Hospital inpatient drug or alcohol treatment is performed in a hospital setting and is overseen 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 life threatening withdrawal symptoms, which is sometimes the case when quitting alcohol as well as a category of prescription drugs known as benzodiazepines which must be supervised very carefully by medical professionals to minimize ant dangerous health complications. Hospital inpatient treatment is also delivered to individuals who choose to undergo medication assisted withdrawal, as is the case with opiate addicted individuals who wish to use this type of detox technique to manage the harsh withdrawal symptoms associated with heroin or other opiate withdrawal. This type of opiate detoxification is not treatment in itself however, and these individuals will need additional counseling and therapy to fully recover from addiction.
