Drug Addiction Facts

  • Drug abuse refers to the use of a drug for purposes for which it was not attended, or using a drug in excessive quantities.
  • Fentanyl transdermal patches are used in the management of persistent and chronic pain in patients who require continuous opioid pain relief.
  • 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.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to intensity of care, as the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to be in a treatment center while undergoing rehab services. Even though this may appear perfect it may not provide the required change of surroundings than many people in rehab need to have a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders are what are known in the field of alcohol and drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must deal with both disorders whilst in rehab in order to find resolution simply because one usually exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are lots of alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities who can specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues face to be able to not only become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse due to the challenges that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the issue can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, there are ASL and also other assistance services available for them when drug abuse rehab is required. Besides ASL, such services might include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are obtaining the support they need in alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance won't cover the total cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but people actually have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many individuals face. Likewise, rehab centers will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities will take Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present another type of private medical insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality treatment center that will get better results, like a long-term residential drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug and alcohol treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in setting up the person's rehab strategy. Inpatient solutions 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 covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance plan.
