Drug Addiction Facts

  • Long-term methamphetamine abuse can result in inflammation of the heart lining.
  • As of February 1, 2014 Canadian pharmacists will start giving out a formulation of methadone called Methadose, covered under PharmaCare, which is the same dosage but patients will only have to ingest a 10-millilitre dose of the liquid, which is about two teaspoons, instead of 100 millilitres, just under half a cup.
  • Meth use may lead to irreparable brain damage, because the drug destroys natural dopamine production sites in the brain.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services regarding level of care, for the reason that individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to remain in a rehab center while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even though this may seem perfect it might not provide the much needed change of environment than a lot of people in treatment require to experience a successful rehab.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse because of the problems that their impairment impose on them. While detection of the issue can often be hard among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and also other assistance services designed for them when drug abuse rehab is needed. Besides ASL, such services might include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are getting the help they need in drug treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of treatment or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage because they can choose whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many people face. Likewise, rehab centers will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present any other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to cover a more quality treatment facility which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug rehab centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in establishing the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like 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 and alcohol treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only inside the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some type of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab programs. Individuals might have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment center that's inside their network of providers and there could be other limitations including how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select a quality center they prefer and consult with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular drug abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some restrictions regarding just how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it's clear just how long and individual can remain in the rehabilitation program of preference.
