What Causes Overdose from Drugs and Alcohol?
When people abuse drugs or alcohol on a long-term basis, they develop a tolerance for these substances. Eventually, they will need more of those substances to achieve the same desired effect or high. This is one of the signs of addiction. With an overdose, the brain can take only so much of a drug before it becomes a toxin, or poison.
Overdose can cause an array of painful effects such as respiratory failure, stroke, heart attack, seizures, comas and even death.
If an abuser of alcohol and drugs develops a tolerance to them and they stop using for a period of time, they lose that tolerance. When they start using again, if it's at the same level as when they stopped, they are at a risk for overdose. In fact, that's how many people die from overdose. Their bodies have been cleansed of the toxins and have lost that tolerance, and are overwhelmed by a high dosage.
Each person has a different sensitivity to drugs or alcohol, and this can affect whether they overdose or not. A dosage that is fine to one person, may be too much for another person and cause them to overdose. This often happens with stronger illicit drugs like meth, cocaine and heroin.
