Drug Addiction Facts

  • In some inpatient treatment centers, they have access to around-the-clock care that could prevent them from causing harm to themselves or someone else.
  • Methadone is a synthetic opiate prescription drug which is used as "maintenance" treatment for heroin and other opiate addiction, because it curbs cravings for opiates and other opioid prescription drugs and also prevents withdrawal from these drugs.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in many different settings with various rehabilitation lengths and plans to suit the various demands of clients with any kind of and degree of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being included in many insurance companies, there's no need to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of intensity of care, for the reason that individual can keep their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to stay in a rehabilitation center while undergoing rehabilitation services. While this may appear ideal it may not provide the much needed change of environment than many people in recovery need to experience a productive rehabilitation.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders are often given the option or ordered to rehabilitation as part of sentencing. Quite often, the offender can pick which treatment facility they would like to attend. Upon successful completion, DUI and DWI offenders can take advantage of reduced sentencing options in order to move forward in their lives without getting penalized any more.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many people face. In addition, rehab facilities will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs will take Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present any other kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation center which will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment facility.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only in the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some type of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities. Individuals could have to take part in a drug treatment program that's within their network of providers and there may be other limitations like just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent facility they like and speak with a rehabilitation specialist to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.
