Facts

  • Use of amphetamines can cause an individual to become psychologically dependent on to them so that they are so central to a person's thoughts, emotions, and activities that the need to continue their use becomes a craving or compulsion.
  • Prescription drugs such as OxyContin are the second-most abused drugs among teens, behind marijuana.
  • Marijuana withdrawal produces both physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms, and it can be difficult to overcome the cravings which often results in relapse.
  • OxyContin is illegally diverted for abuse in several ways including pharmacy diversion, "doctor shopping," and improper prescribing practices by physicians.

Lake Wales, Florida - Medicare

Substance abuse and addiction affects every age, race and gender. For substance abusers that are 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 a few key points are addressed. The addict must receive 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 mental health hospital for the individual's entire lifetime.
