DRUG OVERDOSE
DESCRIPTION |
|
|
|
All drugs have the potential to be
misused, whether legally prescribed by a doctor, purchased
over-the-counter at the local drug store, or bought illegally on the
street. Taken in combination with other drugs or with alcohol, even
drugs normally considered safe can cause death or serious long term
consequences. Children are particularly at risk for accidental
overdose, accounting for over 1 million poisonings each year from
drugs, alcohol, and other chemicals and toxic substances. People who
suffer from depression and who have suicidal thoughts are also at
high risk for drug overdose. |
