Drug Addiction Facts

  • Cocaine is generally not taken by mouth for recreational purposes and it has been known to cause toxic reactions, including death, in people who swallow it to avoid police detection or border authorities.
  • Some addicts intentionally make the choice to use a form of heroin or cocaine which has been laced with fentanyl, in a desperate search for an increasingly better high.
  • Methamphetamine addicted individuals often develop sores on their bodies because they scratch at imaginary bugs they believe are crawling under their skin.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

Military Insurance (E.G., Va, Tricare)

Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities and also partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)
