Drug Addiction Facts

  • Regular use of marijuana has been found to promote cancer of the lungs and other parts of the respiratory tract due to the irritants and carcinogens contained in marijuana smoke.
  • In 2008, nearly one in four drug misuse or abuse emergency department visits (24 percent) in the U.S. involved cocaine.
  • Because heroin abusers do not know the actual strength of the drug or its true contents, they are consistently putting themselves at risk for a potentially deadly overdose.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are available to anyone who must be safely managed through detox services when intensely addicted to alcohol and drugs, or who wants a broader spectrum of care such as somebody who is dealing with a dual diagnosis and also needs mental health services during their treatment process. You will find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services accessible.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and substance abuse as a result of problems that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this problem can be hard among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL and other assistance services readily available for them when drug abuse treatment is required. Besides ASL, such services can include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are obtaining the support they need in drug and alcohol treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but people in fact have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can select whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many individuals face. Likewise, treatment centers will often provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present any other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals may choose to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation facility which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug rehab programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only within the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some form of alcohol and drug treatment service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals may have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab facility that's within their network of providers and there could be other limitations including how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent facility they like and speak with a rehab counselor to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular substance abuse rehab solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs in addition to partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some limitations as to the length of time a stay in inpatient drug rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it's clear the length of time and individual can remain in the rehabilitation program of preference.
