Drug Addiction Facts

  • Ecstasy is not a "fun" party drug which is as benign as some would think, and often results in the same physical effects as other stimulants, such as cocaine and amphetamines including increases in heart rate and blood pressure.
  • In US Federal courts during 2007, 5,477 individuals were convicted of crack cocaine-related crimes, 95% of which were involved in crack cocaine trafficking.
  • All inpatient treatment facilities should be very aware that no real rehab can take place unless or until the patient is physically stable. Therefore, once a new patient has been assessed and properly evaluated, they undergo any and all medically monitored detox. The detoxification process can take anywhere from 3 to 14 days depending the kind and amount of drugs and or alcohol the patient has been abusing.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a number of settings and with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to suit the varying needs of clients with any type of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being included in many insurance plans, you shouldn't have to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions regarding level of care, as the individual can keep their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to remain in a treatment program while undergoing rehab services. Even though this may seem perfect it may not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many people in rehab have to have to have a productive rehabilitation.

Adolescents

When adolescents get involved in any kind of drug abuse, it is crucial that they obtain top quality care to halt the situation in its tracks so that it doesn't get any worse and possibly jeopardize their future. Because adolescent drug use which continues often carries on into one's adult life, parents must remain vigilant and get their adolescent treatment the moment a problem is noticed in a program which handles adolescent drug abuse. A lot of programs which deal with adolescents offer both inpatient and residential rehabilitation, which has been proven to be the most beneficial environments for rehab clients of this age.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems are what are recognized in the field of alcohol and drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must tackle both disorders when it's in rehab to find resolution simply because one usually exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are several drug treatment programs who can specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face in order to not merely become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients get into rehab as part of a court ruling to satisfy part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehab often receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when being cooperative with alcohol and drug rehab specifications enforced with them as part of sentencing and particularly of course when successfully graduating an alcohol and drug treatment center.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but people really have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many people face. In addition, rehab facilities will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab centers accept Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present some other form of private health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality treatment facility that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some type of drug rehab service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals may have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility that is in their network of providers and there could be other limitations like just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a quality program they like and consult with a treatment counselor to find out if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with 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 could be some restrictions about how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered before you start treatment so that it's clear the length of time and individual can stay in the rehabilitation facility of preference.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug rehabilitation centers provide payment assistance to help individuals who might not have enough money to self pay for rehabilitation or whose medical insurance won't provide coverage or full coverage for his or her stay. By way of example, Sometimes insurance only covers a short-term program when in actuality a long-term program will be the more suitable selection. To determine what payment assistance might be offered, like a sliding fee scale, seek advice from the facility for details.
