One in three older Americans with Medicare drug coverage is prescribed opioid painkillers, but for those who develop a dangerous addiction there is one treatment Medicare won’t cover: METHADONE. Methadone is the oldest, and experts say, the most effective of the three approved medications used to treat opioid addiction. It eases cravings without an intense high, allowing patients to work with counselors to rebuild their lives. Federal money is flowing to states to open new methadone clinics through the 21st Century Cures Act, but despite the nation’s deepening opioid crisis, the Medicare drug program for the elderly covers methadone only when prescribed for pain. Methadone doesn’t meet the requirement of Medicare’s Part D drug program because it can’t be dispensed in a retail pharmacy. Instead, in the highly regulated methadone system, patients first are assessed by a doctor, then show up daily at federally certified methadone clinics to take their doses of the pink liquid. Or, like Purvis in Maryland, they prove through repeated urine screens that they have earned the right to weekly take-home doses. An estimated 300,000 Medicare patients have been diagnosed with opioid addiction, and health officials estimate nearly 90,000 are at high risk for opioid misuse or overdose. Buprenorphine, a more expensive and slightly less regulated treatment drug, is covered by Medicare but few doctors who accept new Medicare patients have obtained federal waivers to prescribe it. A recent study of Medicare claims found prescriptions for buprenorphine for only 81,000 patients.
More evidence that the crisis affects seniors: Opioid overdoses killed 1,354 Americans ages 65 and older in 2016, about 3 percent of the 42,000 opioid overdoses that year. older patients in treatment if they’ve had commercial insurance that covered their care before turning 65, said counselor Angela Caldwell of Montgomery Recovery Services in Rockville, Maryland. A national organization for methadone clinics says the clinics now have 25,000 Medicare beneficiaries who are either paying out of pocket (about $80 per week) or getting care through state-run Medicaid or block grant programs. Medicare’s policy means clinics often scramble to keep

There is significant amount of money used for the addiction treatment methods that do not work. This is why it is vital to identify the success rates of treatment programs so that cost-effective methods can be implemented. In 2008 it was estimated that the economic burden that mental illness imposes on Canada is around $51 billion a year. This amount covers the costs for healthcare, lost productivity, and the reduction in the quality of life. Let’s take a look at the methadone treatment program success rate to see if it is truly worth the cost.
Long-Term Abstinence The use of the methadone treatment program for addiction was initially researched during the early 1960s. In the 40 years that followed, it has evolved to become the most recognized standard of care for opiate addiction. The detoxification and drug-free techniques can be very appealing in terms of the need to find a recovery solution that does not involve any medication. However, it only yields a 5% to 10% success rate. Compare this to the 60% to 90% methadone treatment program success rate and you would understand why it has become an international standard. The longer that people stay on this program, the more they improve their chances of achieving long-term abstinence.
Success Rates The clinical data available can demonstrate that a biochemical treatment of addiction will deliver 75% to 80% recovery rate within a span of 5 years. Compare this to the traditional 12-step or strictly counseling approach that does not use biochemical treatment and you get a substantially lower recovery rate of 15% to 25% in 5 years. After over 50 years more than 95% of the treatment programs in the U.S. and Canada still use the 12-step program. This does not resolve the physiological damage that has resulted from the substance abuse. It is necessary to recognize this problem to achieve cellular rebalancing and recovery from addiction.
In a study of California heroin addicts that involved 600 participants originally, about half are now dead. Only 10% of them have successfully established long-term stable abstinence. Many have not been exposed to methadone maintenance, which could have helped them reach a rehabilitated state.
IT IS NECESSARY TO RECOGNIZE THIS PROBLEM TO ACHIEVE CELLULAR REBALANCING AND RECOVERY FROM ADDICTION.
For anyone looking for help with addiction, recovery is real, it’s great, it’s available... TODAY.

The risk for drug overdose is 12.7 times greater in individuals who have been incarcerated than in individuals in the general population. An article published in the Journal of Law, Medicine, and Ethics described the consequences of limited treatment options for individuals with opioid use disorder in the criminal justice system. Curtis Bone, MD, MHS, from the Yale University School of Medicine, and colleagues recalled a patient who refused treatment with methadone for opioid use disorder because he worried about withdrawal: although heroin withdrawal effects are significant, the patient worried more for the prolonged effects of methadone withdrawal, particularly in a prison environment. After this patient encounter, Dr Bone explored the reasons behind prison refusal to accommodate methadone, recognizing also that the criminalization of drugs across the United States has led many with substance use disorders to regard “incarceration...[as] a foregone conclusion.” Among those treated with methadone or buprenorphine, 70% return to employment or schooling, and risk for overdose and viral illnesses are significantly reduced. Despite these positive effects, just 55% of federal prison medical directors report offering methadone, and even fewer offer buprenorphine. Among prisons that do supply addiction treatment, the outcomes include reduced rates of mortality, hepatitis C infection, and re- incarceration. Dr Bone also noted that methadone treatment “returns 12-14 dollars for every dollar spent,” a significant financial incentive for its use. Even so, prisons largely do not adopt methadone treatment programs, often citing “staff objections.” Many prison staff members report not endorsing methadone because they perceive it as substituting 1 drug for another, or as a facilitator to addiction.5 However, scientific evidence and bioethics alike renounce these perceptions as unproductive and inaccurate.
Failure to treat addiction is detrimental both to incarcerated individuals themselves and to their communities, Dr Bone noted. The effect of addiction is disproportionately shouldered by low-income communities and communities of color. Children of parents with a substance abuse disorder have higher rates of emotional and behavioral problems than the general population. In addition, communities among which rates of addiction and incarceration are high have increased risk for HIV and hepatitis. diseases may be a byproduct of the federal prison system’s failure to address substance abuse among the incarcerated. In addition to systematic refusal to accommodate methadone programs, patients themselves often reject the option because they fear the “horrific” Dr Bone postulates that the heightened risk for these

OPIOID ADDICTION: “LET’S TALK ABOUT IT.” Learn how Katherine Boone Robinson Foundation extends COMPASSION & SUPPORT
to people in recovery and to their families.
What is Addiction? According to the American Society of Addiction Medicine, addiction is defined as “Addiction is a primary, chronic disease of brain reward, motivation, memory and related circuitry. Dysfunction in these circuits leads to characteristic biological, psychological, social and spiritual manifestations. This is reflected in the individual pursuing reward and/or relief by substance use and other behaviors. The addiction is characterized by impairment in behavioral control, craving, inability to consistently abstain, and diminished recognition of significant problems with one’s behaviors and interpersonal relationships. Like other chronic diseases, addiction can involve cycles of relapse and remission. Without treatment or engagement in recovery activities, addiction is progressive and can result in disability or premature death.” Treatment For Addiction While there are many types of addiction, TANG specializes in treating addiction to opiates and opioids. Our facilities institute treatment for opioid dependency through Methadone Detoxification, Methadone Maintenance, and counseling.
Opioids are among the most abused substances. Opioids affect the brain receptors that govern the release of neurotransmitters (e.g., dopamine), which in turn regulate emotions and allow an individual to cope with physical pain.

Accepting to commit to a rehab institution is usually a difficult decision, but how does one know it’s time to commit to a rehabilitation center?
5 of the major tell-tale signs that it’s time to check into a treatment facility full time include:
Health induced drug problems When one gets to a point where their normal bodily functions are hampered by their drug use, then it’s time to re-evaluate their decision to get professional help. Opioids can reduce breathing causing brain damage while also causing harm to the heart. Alcohol addiction can cause liver damage which can also be fatal. Getting to such points should trigger one to seek help.
Strained relationships When the relationship between a person and their spouse or other family members and friends is increasingly becoming difficult as a result of their indulging in recreational drugs and alcohol, then it is time to check in for professional help. This includes constantly getting angry or defensive when they question their use of these drugs.
Causing self harm or harming others This can manifest in a variety of ways such as driving under the influence of drugs and posing trouble not only to you but other road users as well. Wanting to cause bodily harm to yourself is also a tell-tale sign that you need to get help.
Failing at self weaning off the drugs You might be willing and ready to overcome your addiction but all your efforts constantly end in failure. This is good place to understand that there is help available to help you through the journey to get better and checking into a facility.
Lying about your use of drugs If you have to lie about it then that is already a problem you are in denial about. Getting to a point where you cannot be truthful about how much drugs or alcohol you use is a sign of shame at just how much you are using and at that point getting professional help is advised.
Getting to a point of overdosing on a drug or suffering alcohol poisoning should also be a motivating factor to go straight into a rehab facility. This is however a risky point to wait to get to as one may not always recover from an overdose. Seeking professional help as soon as possible will help avoid such situations entirely.
