Drug Addiction Facts

  • Like any intravenous drug users, heroin users who inject the drug risk exposing themselves to the immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B and C, and other serious types of blood-borne viruses.
  • Snorting or oral ingesting meth produces euphoria but not an intense rush such as that which is experienced through smoking or injecting the drug.
  • Heavy alcohol consumption among older adults can worsen certain preexisting health conditions including diabetes, high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, liver problems, osteoporosis, memory problems and mood disorders.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in several settings with various rehab lengths and plans to suit the varying demands of clients with any type of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential centers now being included in many insurance plans, you don't have to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab solutions with regards to level of care, because the individual can maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to be in a rehabilitation program while undergoing rehab services. Even if this may seem perfect it will not provide the required change of atmosphere than many people in treatment need to have a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but people actually have a great deal of leverage because they can select whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, treatment facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present some other form of private health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation facility that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug rehab programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient services 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 expense of alcohol and drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could qualify for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only within the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some form of alcohol and drug treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug treatment facilities. Individuals may have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment center that's in their network of providers and there may be other restrictions including the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select a quality center they prefer and meet with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance will cover it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility made available from a variety of drug rehabilitation centers in an effort to help clients afford treatment where this may not have been possible initially. By way of example, one client's price for rehab might be different and less than another individual whose finances are better making them more prepared to pay for the full expense of rehab. Registrars take into account other factors in addition to income including number of dependents to determine the final cost using the sliding scale.
