  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Individuals who abuse OxyContin may be attracted to lower priced heroin when their health insurance will no longer cover OxyContin prescriptions, or when they cannot afford the high street-level price of OxyContin.
  • Amphetamines elevate cardiac output and blood pressure, making them dangerous for use by patients with a history of heart disease or hypertension.
  • An opiate addicted individual will typically experience strong cravings for their opiate of choice, and often feel dissatisfied by natural rewards such as chocolate or pleasurable activities.
  • Treatment for a drug overdose is always dependent on knowing which type of drug has been ingested; therefore, it is important that the emergency medical team has as much information as possible, concerning the incident.
  • Waking up in an emergency room after being treated for a potentially fatal drug overdose can often be the bottom that many addicted individuals need to hit before they are willing to fully commit to a drug rehab program so that they can finally be free from their addiction.

Detoxification

Detoxification is commonly the first step in getting off drugs. It allows an individual to be in a supervised environment while they go through withdrawal symptoms for drugs and/or alcohol. There are various types of detoxification. Theyrange from drug-free to medically supervised. A widespread mistake that quite a few addicts make is to assume that detox is sufficient to kick their habit. This is almost never the case. All detox does is get a person through the withdrawal when they stop using. It is often recommended that detox be followed up with some type of treatment plan to learn the root of why someone was using drugs in the first place.
