Drug Addiction Facts

Medical examiners in Charleston, West Virginia listed methadone as contributing to 2,992 deaths in 2003, up from 790 in 1999. An estimated 82% of those deaths were listed as accidental, and most deaths involved combinations of methadone with other drugs, particularly prescription benzodiazepines.
Like heroin and other opiates, if an user has developed a physical dependence to methadone and they stop taking it or decrease their dose they begin to experience methadone withdrawal. This happens after very short term use.
Fentanyl is used as a pain reliever, but is so powerful that it is 100 times more potent than morphine as an analgesic.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation centers will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present another form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality treatment center which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment facility.
