  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • The drug overdose epidemic is centered in middle-aged America; because this particular population is "not supposed to abuse drugs"; the media virtually ignores this dire situation.
  • Anywhere from 20-30% of road accidents are associated with alcoholic binge drinking.
  • Americans in the two lower income brackets (less than $9,000 and $9,000-$19,999) report more instances of heavy alcohol use than workers in higher income brackets ($20,000-$39,999, $40,000-$74,999, and $75,000 or more).
  • In-patient drug rehab admissions for substance abuse among children of alcoholics are triple that of other children.
  • In an emergency room setting individuals will be given oxygen as needed to and may be administered a common antidote for Vicodin overdose known as naloxone; additional action may need to be taken because of the acetaminophen contained in the drug.

Medicare Coverage

Drug addiction and alcoholism affects many older Americans and seniors, and this problem is projected to only worsen in the coming years. 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 substance abuse at a variety of substance abuse 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 treatment program covered by Medicare which would be suitable for them.
