  • 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.
  • A methamphetamine high is much prolonged than a cocaine high, yet the cost is much the same which is why it is sometimes referred to as the "poor mans cocaine."
  • Bath Salts have sent 65 people to hospitals in Michigan over the past six months and have caused several overdose deaths in the state.
  • The risk of a drug overdose is always greater when using illicit street drugs, because the user can never be sure how strong the drug is that they are taking; ultimately, this can lead to serious, or even fatal consequences.
  • During 2010, the average age at first time non-medical use of the prescription opioid OxyContin was 22.8 years old among individuals aged 12 to 49.

As the baby boomer generation ages, this will become an even bigger problem with an even bigger need for drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which are prepared to treat seniors and older adults who are in need of rehabilitation for addiction problems. Seniors and older adults are faced with many physical challenges as a result of their age, which can affect treatment outcome if not addressed concurrently.
