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.
  • There is concern among pediatricians that using prescription stimulants on children may affect their development, and it is still unknown how these drugs biologically affect the developing brain.
  • Fentanyl oral lozenges and injectables are also commonly diverted and abused.

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.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into rehab as part of a court ruling in order to meet a part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehab frequently receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when cooperating with drug rehab specifications enforced with them in sentencing and also of course when successfully graduating a drug rehab facility.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but people actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehab facilities will often offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present some other form of private health care insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals might want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehabilitation center that will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at alcohol and drug rehab facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in establishing the individual's treatment plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other kind 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 drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only in the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some form of drug rehab service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment centers. Individuals might have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab facility which is in their network of providers and there might be other limitations such as the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent center they like and consult with a rehab specialist to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.
