Drug Addiction Facts

  • When cocaine and alcohol are used together the human liver manufactures a third substance, cocaethylene, which intensifies cocaine's euphoric effects, while possibly increasing the risk of sudden death.
  • Former and current heroin users describe the horrors of heroin addiction withdrawal as being far less painful and difficult than methadone withdrawal.
  • It is estimated that about 75% of rapes occur when at least one party is under the influence of alcohol.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab solutions in terms of intensity of care, since the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to be in a rehabilitation facility while undergoing treatment services. Even though this might appear perfect it may not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than a lot of people in rehabilitation require to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug use problems are what are identified in the field of drug and alcohol treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must handle both disorders when it's in rehabilitation to find resolution simply because one usually triggers the other. Fortunately, there are many drug treatment facilities who can specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face to be able to not simply become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not want to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Seniors/Older Adults

Seniors and older adults who have trouble with drug use could have unique challenges they must overcome while in treatment, which rehab professionals within the center they opt to take part in should be keen of so that a full recovery is achievable. So for seniors and older adults, it is wise to pick a rehab that is accustomed to helping seniors and older adults deal with the unique life and substance abuse issues that these clients face which may include a wider spectrum of services including medical care and so on.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use due to the problems their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the issue can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL and other assistance services readily available for them when substance abuse treatment is necessary. Apart from ASL, such services can include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are receiving the support they need in drug treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation centers will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present some other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may choose to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehab center which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug and alcohol rehab programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with setting up the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only inside the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug treatment service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab centers. Individuals may have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility which is within their network of providers and there could be other limitations for example how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a good program they prefer and consult with a rehabilitation specialist to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular substance abuse rehab services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities as well as partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There could be some limitations regarding just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered prior to starting rehab so that it's clear just how long and individual can remain in the rehabilitation program of preference.
