The Drug Enforcement Administration’s National Drug Threat Assessment Survey for 2013 said the amount of heroin seized at the southwest border between the U.S. and Mexico had increased by 232 percent since 2008. As a result, it said, overdoses are on the rise due to younger people using the drug, varying levels of purity and inexperienced users switching from prescription opioid painkillers.
According to a Cronkite News analysis of public records from the 2009-2013 Arizona Hospital Discharge Data Set, gathered by the Arizona Department of Health Services’ Bureau of Public Health Statistics, Pima County had an overdose rate almost twice as high as any other Arizona county. The five ZIP codes saw the most overdoses during that period were all in metropolitan Tucson, the analysis showed.
Do not become a statistic. We can help you find a treatment facility that is right for you. It is proven that those who try to quit on their own, quickly return to their drug of choice use, and eventually that leads into heavier drugs. Studies have also shown that alcohol consumption increases as well. This has many lasting health affects on the body such as, organ failure, or, cirrhosis which can be a slow death. Prescription medication abuse also leads into organ failure, as the body can only process and filter so much of a drug through the organs. Abuse is the continuous use or misuse of drugs that are prescribed to you or to others. They have a specified dosage on the bottle for a reason. Overtime, the medication cannot filter out of the body, staying in the organs and starting to weaken the muscle or tissue that makes up the vital organ needed for life. Illegal drug use does the same thing, but sometimes at a faster and more detrimental rate. Prolonged heroin use has been proven to cause Chronic Heart Failure in people as young as 25 years old. Addiction has no face and it does not discriminate. Please make that call today. 1-855-201-2200.
