Drug Addiction Facts

  • Research has shown that marijuana can produce a range of transient psychotic symptoms and cognitive deficits, such as deficits in learning, short-term memory, working memory, executive function, abstract ability, decision-making and attention.
  • When drugs like Ritalin and Adderall are prescribed in routine pediatric doses, they commonly cause hypertension, which can lead to an enlarged heart.
  • Some studies suggest that a marijuana user's risk of heart attack during the first hour after having smoked the drug is four times his or her usual risk.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab services regarding level of care, because the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to be in a rehab 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 require to experience a successful rehab.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehab centers possess the staff or resources to focus on the requirements of Spanish speaking clients, but thankfully there are more and more facilities that are able to do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Counselling, study info and stuff like that are actually frequently obtainable in Spanish in both short and long terms centers which provide inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a much more leverage due to the fact they can select whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many men and women face. In addition, treatment programs will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment centers accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present some other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehabilitation program that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug and alcohol treatment programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in establishing the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only in the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug treatment programs. Individuals may have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab facility that's inside their network of providers and there can be other restrictions for example the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a good facility they prefer and consult with a treatment specialist to determine if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular substance abuse treatment solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities and also partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some limitations as to how long a stay in inpatient drug rehab is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it is clear how much time and individual can stay in the rehabilitation program of choice.
