  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Crack cocaine users often increase their dose in an attempt to intensify and prolong the effects of the drug, but this can also increase the risk of adverse psychological or physiological effects.
  • Treatment for a drug overdose is always dependent on knowing which type of drug has been ingested; therefore, it is important that the emergency medical team has as much information as possible, concerning the incident.
  • In 1943 a chemist in Switzerland first discovered the hallucinogenic effects of LSD.
  • Ecstasy use has become popular among urban gay males who commonly use the drug as part of a multiple-drug experience that includes marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, ketamine, sildenafil (Viagra), and other legal and illegal substances.
  • Cocaine is generally not taken by mouth for recreational purposes, and dangerous reactions, including death, have occurred in people who swallow the drug to avoid police detection or border authorities.

Medicare Coverage

Drug addiction and alcoholism can effect many older Americans and seniors, and this issue 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 Medicare benefits to receive vital treatment services for drug or alcohol addiction at a wide variety of substance abuse rehabilitation centers around the country. Medicare covers both inpatient and outpatient rehab programs, and seniors who are in need of treatment can consult with their primary care physician to choose a rehab program covered by Medicare which would fit his or her particular needs.
