Facts

  • Research indicates that, like cocaine and other abused drugs, opiates activate the brain's reward system causing pain relief, a sense of euphoria and pleasure.
  • Studies indicate that adolescent and young adult drinkers are particularly likely to drink alcohol heavily with the intention of getting drunk-often every time they drink.
  • The THC in hashish interferes with learning and memory processes because of its effects on the hippocampus, a part of the brain which is critical for certain types of learning.
  • Methamphetamine withdrawal symptoms that individuals commonly experience when they stop using the drug suddenly are fatigue, depression anxiety, irritability, headaches, agitation, an inability to remain still, excessive sleeping, vivid or lucid dreams, deep REM sleep and suicidal ideation and an increased appetite.

Fitchburg, MA. - Military Insurance (e.g., VA, TRICARE)

There are a lot of ways to get part or all of your drug treatment paid for. For those who want to use military insurance (e.g., VA, TRICARE) you will need to contact your provider directly to see exactly what you are eligible for. While both parts of TriCare (TriCare Standard and TriCare Extra) cover drug rehabilitation, only some VA benefits cover the expense of substance abuse treatment. Once you have spoken with your military insurance provider (e.g., VA, TRICARE) and fully understand what they will pay for regarding addiction treatment you can begin researching drug rehabilitation centers. Be sure to speak to the billing department to ensure that they accept your military insurance (e.g., VA, TRICARE). You will want to have a full understanding of what your part (if any) of the program costs you will be responsible for before you enroll into the treatment program.
