Drug Addiction Facts

  • Ecstasy is synthetically produced using chemicals and other substances such as caffeine, the active ingredient in over-the-counter cough syrup, amphetamines, PCP and even cocaine is sometimes added to or substituted for the amphetamines typically used to produce Ecstasy. The dose of MDMA in one tablet can vary from 12 mg all the way up to 131 mg, so the effects too can vary considerably.
  • Fentanyl sometimes causes muscle rigidity with greater frequency than other opioids.

Seniors/Older Adults

Seniors and older adults who have trouble with drug use may have unique obstacles they have to conquer when in rehabilitation, which rehabilitation professionals within the program they choose to be a part of have to be keen of so that a complete recovery is possible. So for seniors and older adults, it is wise to select a rehab that's used to helping seniors and older adults address the distinctive life and substance abuse problems that these clients face which may include a wider spectrum of solutions including medical care and so on.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but individuals actually have a much more leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many people face. In addition, rehab facilities will often provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present any other kind of private health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehab program that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at alcohol and drug rehab facilities 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 doctor, who must aid in setting up the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare 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 treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might 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. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some kind of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab centers. Individuals may have to participate in a drug treatment center that is within their network of providers and there could be other restrictions including the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent facility they like and consult with a rehab 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 costs of particular drug abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some limitations regarding just how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it's clear just how long and individual can stay in the treatment program of choice.
