Facts
- Research indicates that current drug rehabs can be as effective for older adults as they are for younger adults.
- There is no physical withdrawal from Crack or Cocaine as there is with other drugs such as heroin. The withdrawal symptoms are more of a psychological nature rather than physical including an intense hunger, irritability, fatigue, long but disturbed sleep
- Individuals who take antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications can develop dependence to these drugs and may experience withdrawal syndrome if they suddenly stop taking them.
- When someone stops taking crystal meth they often experience long periods of sleep and increased appetite because most users go on a "run", taking drugs for one or more days in a row and don't sleep or eat.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
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 treatment. Medicare insurance will 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 treatment 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. Also, Medicare will only cover a total of 190 days in a psychiatric hospital for the individual's entire lifetime.
