Drug Addiction Facts

Children treated with stimulant drugs such as Ritalin to control (ADHD) take up cigarette smoking earlier, smoke more heavily and are more likely to abuse cocaine and other stimulants as adults.
Aside from being born addicted to crack cocaine and experiencing the negative health effects of such a circumstance, crack babies are also at risk of contracting HIV through a HIV-infected mother who can transmit the virus perinatally to her child. This is an important factor to consider given that more than 60 percent of new AIDS cases are women.
A driver who is under the influence of marijuana loses the ability to "track" (stay in lane) through curves, to brake quickly, and to maintain speed and the proper distance between cars is affected.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation facilities accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present some other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality treatment center that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation center.
