Facts

  • Methadone used in opiate maintenance therapy was originally developed to help obliterate withdrawal symptoms and support a healthy lifestyle. However, the effects of withdrawal far exceed that of heroin which causes the individual to become addicted to it instead.
  • Marijuana withdrawal comes with not only physical symptoms but psychological withdrawal symptoms, and it can be difficult to overcome the cravings which often results in relapse.
  • Studies indicate that 31% of students met criteria for a diagnosis of alcohol abuse and 6% for alcohol dependence in the past 12 months.
  • How many drug withdrawal symptoms an individual experiences, how long they last and how severe they are can vary from person to person.

Los Altos, CA. - Medicare

Substance abuse and addiction affects every age, race 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 treatment. Medicare insurance may pay for 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 services from a Medicare-participating facility or provider. The drug addicted person's doctor notes 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 total of 190 days in a mental health hospital for the individual's entire lifetime.
