Facts

  • Opioid and opiate overdoses in the U.S., once almost always heroin-related, are now more commonly as result of abuse of prescription painkillers.
  • Very often, a person who is going through Ecstasy withdrawal will reach for alcohol or various other types of drugs to help them to relax which unfortunately just becomes another addiction.
  • The most typical marijuana users among high school aged youth in the U.S. are teenagers who have average grades in the B to C range or lower.
  • When combining Vicodin with other substances such as alcohol, cocaine, amphetamines, methylphenidate, benzodiazapines, barbiturates, and other medications the risk of overdose is much higher.

Medicare - Shorter

Drug 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 cover the treatment of alcoholism and drug abuse in both outpatient and inpatient settings, as long as certain requirements are met. The addict must obtain services from a Medicare-participating facility or provider. The drug addicted person's doctor states that the services requested are medically necessary and that the patient's doctor creates the plan of treatment to be carried out. Additionally, Medicare will only cover a total of 190 days in a mental health hospital for the individual's entire lifetime.
