Fatal overdoses are tragic at any age, regardless of whether the drugs in question are illicit or prescription substances. Small numbers of these deaths are ultimately deemed to be suicides, but the vast majority of deaths are accidental.

In figures released by the Georgia Drugs and Narcotics Agency, the number of medicine overdoses throughout the state rose from 496 to 560 between 2008 and 2010. Alarmingly, the highest percentage of these fatalities (226) occurred within the 45-to-54 age group.

According to 2012 figures gathered by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, opioid pain relievers have dwarfed illicit drugs in the overdose death toll.

Despite their remedial benefits, prescription drugs can become addictive and even deadly. If you have become hooked on certain meds for the wrong reasons, call us to learn about the best treatment options in and around Smyrna.
