  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Combining GHB with alcohol will typically result in nausea and vomiting and difficulty breathing.
  • Children of alcoholics tend to be raised by parents with poorer cognitive abilities and in an environment which lacks stimulation, which may account in part for the pattern of failure found in children of alcoholics.
  • GHB produced effects which are similar to other abused central nervous system depressants such as barbiturates and methaqualone.
  • Because methadone detox can be an extremely debilitating and painful process, it should only be attempted in the context of a drug rehab program.
  • In many areas, crystal meth is cheaper than Ecstasy, at $10 for about one-tenth of a gram whereas an ecstasy tablet can cost twice as much, about $20.

Medicare Coverage

Drug addiction and alcoholism affects many older Americans and seniors, and this issue continues to grow as each year passes. Seniors who are covered through the Medicare program, an insurance plan funded through the federal government for Americans in this age bracket, can use their benefits to receive vital treatment services for addiction at a variety of drug and alcohol rehab facilities around the country. Medicare covers both inpatient and outpatient rehab facilities, 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.
