Bridgewater, N.J. (October 9, 2013) – Over 60% of admissions to emergency rooms are either directly or indirectly due to drug or alcohol usage.
According to Drugpolicy.org, accidental drug overdose is currently the leading cause of injury-related death in the United States for people between the ages of 35-54 and the second leading cause of injury-related death for young people.
Majority of the time a drug overdose is unintentional and begins with someone who has been abusing drugs for a long time. The overdose generally is caused by a drug abuser who underestimates their level of drug tolerance. Whether you are using prescription drugs or recreational drugs an overdose can occur and most of the time will lead to death.
Alcohol and drug addiction are treatable. However, it is our most untreated disease in the United States. It is estimated that 35 out of 36 alcoholics never receive treatment of any kind. This number is increased significantly when drug addiction of all kinds is included.
