Drug Addiction Facts

  • Animal studies indicate that animals will work more persistently at pressing a bar for cocaine than for any other drug, including opiates. In one example, one monkey test subject pressed the bar 12,800 times until it got a single dose of cocaine. If the animal survives in such studies, it will return to the task of obtaining more cocaine.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of level of care, as the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation facility while undergoing rehab services. Even if this might appear ideal it will not provide the required change of atmosphere than a lot of people in recovery have to have to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders are what are recognized in the field of drug and alcohol rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must handle both disorders while in rehab in order to find resolution because one often exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are lots of drug rehab centers that can specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face so that they can not simply become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never wish to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Persons With HIV/AIDS

Persons with HIV/AIDS who need substance abuse treatment will usually need services beyond what a traditional drug and alcohol rehab program can provide. Due to the fact comprehensive healthcare services in many cases are an integral part of the physical process of healing for addicts with HIV/AIDS, who likely have experienced a progression and worsening of the disease due to their addiction, it is essential that these clients obtain the medical treatment required in conjunction with any rehabilitation services for their drug use problem.

Gays and Lesbians

It is essential that gays and lesbians acquire excellent rehabilitation solutions in a rehab setting that is discreet and has rehabilitation specialists available to them who understand the unique problems that they can have to deal with in life. Because drug use for gays and lesbians is oftentimes triggered by the problems they face because of their sexual preference, a facility which can help them handle these problems and give them the confidence that they've lacked before arriving in treatment is usually a crucial part of treatment for gay and lesbian clients.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into rehab due to a court ruling to fulfill a part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol treatment often receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when being cooperative with drug and alcohol treatment requirements enforced on them in sentencing especially of course when successfully completing a drug rehabilitation facility.

Spanish

Not all drug rehabilitation facilities possess the staff or resources to cater to the needs of Spanish speaking clientele, but fortunately there are more and more programs that will do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Counselling, study information and the like are now very often accessible in Spanish in both short and long terms centers which provide inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish treatment is available too nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but individuals actually have a much more leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. In addition, treatment centers will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs will take Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present any other form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehab center that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with setting up the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only within the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some kind of alcohol and drug rehab service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehab centers. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug rehabilitation center which is within their network of providers and there can be other restrictions such as the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a quality program they prefer and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain substance abuse rehab services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers in addition to 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 consultant. There can be some restrictions concerning just how long a stay in inpatient drug rehab is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered prior to starting rehab so that it is clear just how long and individual can stay in the treatment center of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option made available from many different alcohol and drug rehab programs to help help clients pay for rehabilitation where this might not have been possible originally. For instance, one client's fee for rehab could be different and lower than another person whose financial situation is better making them better able to spend the money for full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account variables apart from income including number of dependents to determine the final cost and using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug rehab facilities offer payment assistance to help clients who might not have enough money to self pay for treatment or whose health insurance won't provide coverage or full coverage for their stay. By way of example, Sometimes insurance only pays for a short-term program when in reality a long-term program will probably be the more appropriate choice. To determine what payment assistance might be available, such as a sliding fee scale, seek advice from the program for particulars.
