Facts

  • Withdrawal from certain drugs such as benzodiazepines or alcohol can be fatal and therefore the abrupt discontinuation of any type of drug is not recommended.
  • Recent research indicates that if a group of men were given a meal and allowed to eat as much as they wanted, alcohol, rather than a non-alcoholic beverage, would increase the amount of food consumed.
  • Withdrawal symptoms associated with methadone can include but are not limited to body aches and muscle cramping, back aches, leg kicking, anxiety, chills, shivering or trembling, abdominal cramping, weakness, increased blood pressure, convulsions, insomnia, diarrhea, running nose, watery eyes, sneezing, sweating, pale and clammy skin, nausea and thoughts of suicide.
  • Individuals who take short-acting benzodiazepines will have withdrawal symptoms sooner than individuals taking longer acting ones.

Medicare - Altadena

Substance abuse and addiction affects every race, age and gender. For drug addicted people 65 years or older, Medicare may be an option to pay for some if not all of their drug rehabilitation. Medicare insurance may cover the treatment of alcoholism and drug abuse in both outpatient and inpatient settings, as long as a few key points are addressed. The addict must receive services from a Medicare-participating facility or provider. The patient's doctor states that the drug or alcohol treatment is medically necessary and that the patient's doctor creates the plan of treatment to be carried out. Additionally, Medicare will only cover a total of 190 days in a mental health hospital for the individual's entire lifetime.
