- Opiates which also have legitimate use in medicine but are commonly abused include morphine, meperidine, paregoric (which contains opium), and cough syrups that contain codeine.
- Opiate withdrawal can be deadly, particularly for those individuals whose health is already compromised from disease or lack of personal care.
- Sensation seeking and an inclination to seek out new experiences during adolescence could lead to the experimental use of marijuana.
- Magic mushrooms can taste unpalatable and may therefore cause nausea and even vomiting as a result.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Drug addiction affects every age, race and gender. For drug addicted people 65 years or older, Medicare is an option to pay for some if not all of their drug treatment. Medicare insurance may pay for the treatment of drug addiction or alcoholism in both outpatient and inpatient settings, as long as a few key points are addressed. The addict must receive treatment from a Medicare-participating facility or provider. The drug addicted person's doctor recommends that the drug or alcohol treatment is medically necessary and that the patient's doctor provides a specific recommended treatment plan. Also, Medicare will only cover a total of 190 days in a mental health hospital for the individual's entire lifetime.
