Drug Addiction Facts

All stimulants, whether prescription or illicit such as methamphetamine, work by increasing dopamine levels in the brain; dopamine is a brain chemical which has to do with pleasure, movement, and attention. This is what produces a high when abused.
Physical addiction is characterized by the presence of tolerance (needing more and more of the drug to achieve the same effect).
At an inpatient drug rehab, each patient goes through intensive individual addiction treatment with a counselor to discuss the issues that led to drug/alcohol addiction and learn to identify and avoid substance abuse triggers.

Once you have decided to make a change and get help for your addiction problem, the next step is to explaore your treatment facility options. Keep in mind that there is no one-size fits all facility.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals really have a much more leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many people face. Likewise, rehab programs will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.
