  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • In 2009, marijuana was the primary drug in substance abuse treatment admissions for 21% of cases in West and Central Europe and 14% of cases in East and South-East Europe.
  • Crack cocaine does not produce the same intensity of withdrawal symptoms seen in heroin withdrawal, but it is extremely addictive and users who cease using the drug may experience severe drug craving, depression, and lethargy.
  • In relation to a drug overdose, any information that can be provided concerning the amount of the substance that was ingested, what time it was taken, and any information regarding the patient's medical history can be a great help to the medical staff in helping them to determine the most effective course of treatment.
  • As the morphine withdrawal progresses users may experience elevated blood pressure, chills with goose bumps alternating with hot flashes, kicking movements of the legs and excessive sweating, severe pains in the bones and muscles and muscle spasms.
  • Between 1999 and 2006, the number of people who were hospitalized for drug overdoses that were related to prescription medications has increased by over 60%.

Medicare Coverage

Drug addiction and alcoholism can effect 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 substance abuse at a variety of drug treatment facilities around the country. Medicare covers both inpatient and outpatient treatment facilities, and seniors who are in need of help can consult with their primary care physician to choose a treatment program covered by Medicare which would fit his or her particular needs.
