  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Crack cocaine is a highly addictive and powerful stimulant that is derived from powdered cocaine, made by dissolving powdered cocaine in a mixture of water and ammonia or sodium bicarbonate until a solid substance forms which is then broken into the chunks (rocks).
  • A study which examined Prescription Drug Monitoring Program data in emergency departments found that Prescription Drug Monitoring Program data changed clinical management in 41 percent of cases.
  • Sometimes drug overdoses are the result of a suicide attempt, but many times, drug overdoses are accidental.
  • Many senior citizens who take medications for chronic pain will forget that they have already taken the potent pain medicines; in many of these instances, these elderly individuals will experience a potentially deadly drug overdose as a direct result of their memory lag.
  • Because the sale of GHB is illegal, no controls are in place regarding strength and purity of the drug when it is produced.

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 through the Medicare program, an insurance plan funded through the federal government for Americans in this age bracket, can use their benefits to receive treatment services for addiction at a wide variety of drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs around the country. Medicare covers both inpatient and outpatient rehab programs, and seniors who wish to receive help can consult with their primary care physician to choose a rehab program covered by Medicare which would be suitable for them.
