Drug Addiction Facts

  • Snorting cocaine can result in a chronically runny nose, nosebleeds, loss of smell, hoarseness, and problems swallowing.
  • Prescription stimulants are commonly abused because of how easily they are accessed, and can be obtained easily through friends and family, direct prescriptions from a physician, or a prescription "drug dealer." However, the most common source of prescription stimulants is the medicine cabinets of the individual's friends and family.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions regarding intensity of care, as the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation center while receiving rehab services. Even if this might seem ideal it will not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many people in rehab need to have a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders are what are known in the field of drug and alcohol rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must tackle both disorders while in rehabilitation to find resolution because one typically triggers the other. Fortunately, there are numerous drug rehabilitation centers who are able to specifically hone in on the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues face to be able to not merely become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not want to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into rehabilitation due to a court ruling to meet part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug treatment frequently receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when being cooperative with drug rehabilitation requirements enforced on them as part of sentencing and also naturally when successfully completing a drug treatment program.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and drug abuse due to challenges that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the issue is often hard among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL as well as other assistance services available for them when substance abuse rehabilitation is needed. Other than ASL, such services might include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired folks are obtaining the help they require in drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but people actually have a much more leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, treatment facilities will often provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present another type of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehab facility which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug and alcohol rehab programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in setting up the person's rehab strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only inside 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 type of drug rehabilitation service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment programs. Individuals could have to participate in a drug rehabilitation program that is inside their network of providers and there might be other limitations such as just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a good facility they like and speak with a rehab specialist to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain substance abuse treatment solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities and also partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some restrictions as to how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before you start rehabilitation so that it is clear just how long and individual can stay in the treatment center of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility provided by a number of drug rehabilitation centers in an effort to help clients afford treatment where this may not have been doable initially. As an example, one client's fee for rehab may be different and less than someone else whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to pay the full expense of treatment. Registrars consider additional factors apart from income including number of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers provide payment assistance to help individuals who may not have sufficient money to self pay for rehabilitation or whose health insurance won't provide coverage or full coverage for his or her stay. As an example, Sometimes insurance only pays for a short-term program when in reality a long-term program will probably be the more appropriate choice. To determine what payment assistance may be offered, say for example a sliding fee scale, check with the program for details.
