  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • About 15 years ago, over three quarters of all heroin users injected the drug, although currently that number has shrunk to 65% as the number of individuals snorting heroin has grown.
  • In animal studies involving cocaine, if the animal survives after a heavy dose of cocaine it will return to the task of obtaining more of the drug.
  • If used in extremely high doses, crystal meth can increase heart rate, body temperature can rise to very dangerous levels, and the user can become paranoid, agitated and display very bizarre and risky behavior.
  • Heroin abusers often combine it with other drugs, such cocaine or methamphetamine with heroin (known as speedballing), or use alcohol, marijuana, or tranquilizers to enhance the high and blunt effects of withdrawal.
  • Heroin depresses breathing which means an overdose can be fatal.

Adolescents (18 and under)

It is a disturbing 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 alcohol and drugs, parents must be willing to do whatever it takes to help their child before it is too late. Any indication that drugs or alcohol are in the picture should be addressed right away, otherwise, addiction will lead down a path of total destruction for the adolescent and for the family. There are drug treatment programs for adolescents available in every state, many of which cater only to adolescents and have treatment professionals on staff that are trained specifically in dealing with this age range.
