Unintentional Drug Overdose Has Become A Serious Problem

Unfortunately, with the opioid crisis on the rise, unintentional drug overdose is becoming increasingly common. If you or a loved one struggle with addiction or currently take an opioid, be sure to keep this blog post in mind. You need to be able to notice the tell-tale signs of an unintentional overdose.

Signs of an unintentional drug overdose can include:

Slow or shallow breathing

Extreme drowsiness or difficulty waking up

Confusion or difficulty thinking clearly

Blue or purple fingernails or lips

Loss of consciousness

Chest pain

Seizures


Unintentional drug overdose has become a serious problem in many countries due to the availability of drugs, including prescription and illicit drugs, and the increase in drug misuse.

Factors that contribute to the risk of drug complication include:

Taking a higher dose of a drug than prescribed

Mixing drugs with alcohol or other substances

Taking a drug that has been tampered with or is of unknown purity

Having a pre-existing medical condition that makes this outcome more likely

Having a history of substance use disorder or addiction

It is important to seek immediate medical attention if you or someone you know experiences signs of an unintentional drug overdose.
