Opiate intoxication
10/12/2009
Opiate intoxication is a severe intoxication or overdose with opiate drugs, and is a medical emergency. Opiate Intoxication is so dangerous to health because it causes an overload of the central nervous system and may lead to respiratory depression and death. This happens all to often when opiate use is re-started after a period of abstinence, because they have lost their tolerance to the drug. But it can also happen if an unusually pure batch of heroin is used.
