Facts
- The average heroin addict spends anywhere from $150 and $250 per day on his or her habit.
- Opiate addicted individuals need higher and higher amounts of opiates in order to prevent withdrawal symptoms and to maintain their feelings of euphoria.
- Some of the worst prescription drug withdrawal symptoms documented are for the drug Cymbalta (an anti-depressant), which are sometimes referred to as "nightmare-ish" because of how intense they can potentially be.
- Physicians should identify the need for drug rehab in their patients and make appropriate referrals through the widespread use of screening, brief intervention and referral to drug rehab facilities.
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 will pay for 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 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 total of 190 days in a psychiatric hospital for the individual's entire lifetime.
