  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • In the United States, there has currently been an increase in the number of people that are overdosing on maintenance drugs such as methadone and buprenorphine.
  • Alcohol stops some of the messages intended for important brain function which can alter a persons perceptions, emotions, movement, vision, and hearing.
  • A fever experienced during drug withdrawal is common among people who have been addicted to various substances, or even after a period of intense substance use and can range from mild to severe.
  • Alcohol affects the area of the brain responsible for movement and balance, resulting in the staggering, off-balance swagger that is referred to as "falling-down drunk."
  • Food in the stomach slows the rate of alcohol absorption, but the amount of alcohol absorbed remains the same.

Medicare Coverage

Drug addiction and alcoholism can effect many older Americans and seniors, and this problem is projected to only worsen in the coming years. Seniors who are covered by Medicare, 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 wide variety of substance abuse rehab 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 rehab program covered by Medicare which would be suitable for them.
