Facts

  • One ounce of alcohol has the same amount of calories as a baked potato or a glass of milk.
  • The rate of current illicit drug use, including marijuana, among Americans aged 50-59 increased from 2.7% in 2002 to 6.2% in 2009.
  • When cocaine users stop using cocaine, or when they end a cocaine binge, they almost immediately feel the "crash" which includes depression, fatigue, lack of pleasure, anxiety, irritability, sleepiness and a strong craving for more cocaine.
  • Street heroin may contain additives that won't dissolve, which can result in clogged blood vessels which lead to the lungs, liver, kidneys, or brain. This can cause infection or even death of small patches of cells in vital organs.

Santa Clarita - Medicare

Substance abuse and addiction affects every race, age 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 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 creates the plan of treatment to be carried out. Also, Medicare will only cover a maximum of 190 days in a mental health hospital for the individual's entire lifetime.
