Facts

  • Physical addiction to alcohol occurs in consistently heavy drinkers. Since their bodies have adapted to the presence of alcohol, they suffer alcohol addiction withdrawal symptoms if they suddenly stop drinking.
  • Party-going young adults abuse Xanax in combination with other drugs such as stimulants and cocaine, which are known as "Xannie poppers".
  • Withdrawal from antipsychotic prescription medication can occur because the brain may need time to adjust to sudden cessation of the drug after prolonged use.
  • Opiates activate opiate receptors that are widely distributed throughout the brain and body which are part of the body's natural reward system and also relieve pain.

Chugiak, AK. - Medicare

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 rehabilitation. Medicare insurance may cover the treatment of alcoholism and drug abuse in both outpatient and inpatient settings, as long as certain requirements are met. The addict must obtain treatment from a Medicare-participating facility or provider. The patient's doctor notes 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 maximum of 190 days in a psychiatric hospital for the individual's entire lifetime.
