  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Drug addicted individuals often come into contact with the criminal justice system earlier than other health or social systems, which provides excellent opportunities for intervention and drug rehab prior to, during, after, or in lieu of incarceration.
  • Methadone overdose is a serious medical emergency. In the event of suspected overdose call an ambulance. If the person is losing consciousness lie them on their side in the recovery position so that they will not choke if they vomit.
  • Bath Salts are not yet detectable in standard drug testing procedures, another reason they are popular among individuals who abuse recreational drugs.
  • In April 2006, there was one domestic fentanyl lab discovered by authorities in a small town in California which was producing counterfeit 80-mg Fentanyl tablets as well as bulk fentanyl and other drugs.
  • Because drug abuse and addiction are major public health problems, there are many drug rehab options which are funded by local, State, and Federal governments.

Medicare Coverage

Drug addiction and alcoholism affects many older Americans and seniors, and this issue is projected to only worsen in the coming years. Seniors who are covered by Medicare, an insurance program funded through the federal government for Americans in this age bracket, can use their Medicare benefits to receive treatment services for drug or alcohol addiction at a variety of drug treatment centers around the country. Medicare covers both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation programs, and seniors who wish to receive treatment can consult with their primary care physician to choose a rehab program covered by Medicare which would be suitable for them.
