Drug-taking Dangers
Dispatcher Files
Every time you use a drug you are carrying the risk of serious side effects or overdose. Overdoses can happen with all types of drugs, including cocaine, heroin, alcohol, etc. Accidental overdoses occur when users consume too large an amount of either prescription medication or illegal drugs. Intentional overdoses are typically a result of someone trying to commit suicide. The losses that families and loved ones experience when an addict overdoses are vast and traumatic.

- Cessation of breath
- Gurgling sounds which indicate airway obstruction
- Blue fingers or lips
