Facts

  • To experience drug withdrawal the user must have first developed a physical/psychological dependence to the drug.
  • When people mix cocaine and alcohol the dangers associated with the use of these substances are compounded, and the human liver combines cocaine and alcohol and manufactures a third substance, cocaethylene, which intensifies cocaine's euphoric effects while also increasing the risk of sudden death.
  • The path alcohol takes in the body is as follows: mouth, stomach, small intestine, heart, brain and the liver.
  • While heroin addicts experience a terrible set of withdrawal symptoms, it is rare for an individual to not survive even the most severe heroin withdrawal.
