Facts
- Valium can cause anterograde amnesia (an inability to recall the recent past), which may persist as long as 6 months and may not ever fully return to normal after an individual stops taking the drug.
- One option that is sometimes used to avoid opiate withdrawal is to replace the individual's drug of choice with methadone, a long-acting, cross-tolerant opiate that does not normally produce a "high."
- Statistics show a recent increase in daily marijuana use among 8th, 10th, and 12th graders, most notable among 12th graders at 6.1%, highest since the early 1980s.
- PCP users may experience sparse or garbled speech.
Medicare - Long IslandDrug 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 cover the treatment of drug addiction or alcoholism in both outpatient and inpatient settings, as long as a few key points are addressed. The addict must obtain services from a Medicare-participating facility or provider. The patient's doctor states that the services requested are medically necessary and that the patient's doctor provides a specific recommended treatment plan. Additionally, Medicare will only cover a maximum of 190 days in a psychiatric hospital for the individual's entire lifetime.
