Drug Addiction Facts

  • Children treated with stimulant drugs such as Ritalin to control (ADHD) take up cigarette smoking earlier, smoke more heavily and are more likely to abuse cocaine and other stimulants as adults.
  • Fentanyl is an extremely dangerous substitute for heroin because it is much more potent than heroin, which often results in accidental overdoses and death as a result of respiratory depression.
  • Overcoming meth addiction is often impossible without drug rehab, particularly because of severe physical and mental illnesses, including suicidal depression that results from meth use and meth withdrawal.
