Heroin overdose takes the lives of many users each year. It is not a surprise that those who abuse heroin are at an increased risk of death. Their excess mortality rate ranges between six to twenty times their peers who are of the same age and gender and have not abused heroin. The causes of this excess mortality are manifold, including HIV/AIDS, hepatitis and violence. Despite the HIV pandemic among injecting drug users, deaths attributed to overdose remain a major cause of mortality for heroin users, and in many countries is the leading cause of death. Typically, males are the most predominant casualties of a heroin overdose. With around 80% of heroin overdose deaths reported being male.

Methamphetamine addicts may lose their teeth abnormally quickly, a condition known as "meth mouth".

Facts about how heroin is used covers inhalation, injection, smoking, and other means such as oral ingestion. In the past, heroin was primarily used by injection. Today users are ingesting heroin in other ways which are just a dangerous and deadly.

The usual route for medical use is oral administration. In recreational use, methamphetamine can be swallowed, snorted, smoked, dissolved in water and injected (or even without water, in what is called a dry shot), Meth inserted anally (with or without dissolution in water; also known as a booty bump or shafting), or into the urethra.
