Facts
- Individuals who go through medically assisted withdrawal but do not receive any further treatment will typically show drug abuse patterns similar to those who were never treated.
- Methadone doesn't lessen the severity of drug addiction and dependence, and use of the drug in any type of treatment environment leaves the addict completely dependent on and addicted to methadone instead of other opiates they were formerly addicted to.
- Withdrawal from benzodiazepines or alcohol may result in seizures or even coma if not handled in an in-patient setting.
- Many people use Valium and other benzodiazepines, which account for twenty percent of the total number of prescriptions that are written for controlled substances in the United States each year.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Drug addiction affects every age, race and gender. For drug addicted people 65 years or older, Medicare may be an option to pay for some if not all of their drug treatment. Medicare insurance may pay for the treatment of drug addiction or alcoholism in both outpatient and inpatient settings, as long as certain requirements are met. The addict must receive treatment from a Medicare-participating facility or provider. The drug addicted person's doctor recommends 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 mental health hospital for the individual's entire lifetime.
