The Current Opioid Addiction Epidemic
& Why You Need Detox
According to the American Society of Addiction Medicine, drug overdose is the number one cause of accidental death in the nation. In 2015, there were over 52,000 deaths due to accidental overdose, with over 20,000 of those deaths as a result of prescription pain relievers. Heroin use caused over 12,000 of these deaths.
From 1999 until 2010, 48,000 women died of an overdose of prescription pain relievers. The number of deaths that result from heroin overdoses has also tripled over the past years. In fact, women are more likely to develop a dependency for prescription pain relievers because of their higher chance for experiencing chronic pain.
In order to lower these statistics and stop this epidemic from growing, detox centers for women are essential. Without these detox centers, women would be unable to find the help they need to achieve sobriety. Before recovery, the body must be free of all opioids. A detox begins the process of overall recovery and should never be overlooked.
