Facts

  • Opiates such as heroin convert to morphine in the body which then activates opiate receptors located throughout the brain and central nervous system, including within the reward system.
  • Alcohol withdrawal is triggered when the central nervous system attempts to adjust to the sudden absence of ethyl alcohol in the body.
  • Studies indicate that most of the damage caused by most drugs will eventually heal when the individual stops using them; this is not the case with the abuse of inhalants.
  • Cocaine withdrawal symptoms may last for weeks or months, and some cocaine users continue to feel the need to use the drug for years.

Ellenwood - Medicare

Drug addiction affects every race, age and gender. For substance abusers that are 65 years or older, Medicare may be an option to pay for some if not all of their drug rehabilitation. Medicare insurance may pay for 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 drug addicted person's doctor recommends that the services requested are 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.
