Drug Addiction Facts

  • Children treated with stimulant drugs such as Ritalin to control (ADHD) take up cigarette smoking earlier, smoke more heavily and are more likely to abuse cocaine and other stimulants as adults.
  • "Crack babies" are babies born to mothers who used cocaine while pregnant.
  • Studies indicate that cocaine may have a direct effect on blood vessels in the brain, causing them to go into spasm and narrow, resulting in a decrease of blood to the brain, and may even cause inflammation in the blood vessels of the brain and cause stroke.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anybody who needs to be safely managed through detox services when heavily addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, or who requires a broader spectrum of care such as somebody who is dealing with a dual diagnosis and also requires mental health solutions during their treatment process. There are both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services offered.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders are what are known in the field of alcohol and drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must handle both disorders when it's in treatment to find resolution because one typically exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are many alcohol and drug treatment programs who are able to specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face to enable them to not only become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not feel the need to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Seniors/Older Adults

Seniors and older adults who battle with substance abuse may have distinctive obstacles they have to overcome during rehabilitation, which rehab specialists in the rehab they opt to take part in must be keen of to ensure a full recovery may be possible. So for seniors and older adults, it is prudent to decide on a center that is used to helping seniors and older adults tackle the unique life and drug abuse problems that these clients face which can include a broader spectrum of solutions including medical care and so on.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse because of the problems their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem can sometimes be hard among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL and other assistance services available for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is required. Besides ASL, such services can include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are getting the help they require in drug and alcohol treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but people in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many men and women face. In addition, rehabilitation programs will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation facilities accept Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present another type of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehab program that will get better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug rehab centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in setting up the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehab, 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 generally cover some form of drug treatment service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab programs. Individuals could have to participate in a drug rehab facility that's within their network of providers and there can be other restrictions including just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select a good program they like and speak with a rehabilitation specialist to find out if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs and also partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some restrictions concerning how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before you start treatment so that it's clear how much time and individual can remain in the rehabilitation facility of choice.
