Drug Addiction Facts

  • As with other opiate narcotics, methadone creates a feeling of well-being and binds to the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other drugs.
  • An overdose of prescription stimulants can be potentially fatal, and can include symptoms such as high or low blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, nausea, panic, rapid breathing, restlessness, vomiting, fatigue, hallucinations, abdominal cramps, aggressiveness, depression, convulsions, tremors or coma.
  • Swallowing cocaine can result in severe bowel gangrene due to a reduction in the flow of blood to the intestines.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab solutions in terms of intensity of care, since the individual can preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehab program while undergoing rehab services. Even if this may seem ideal it may not provide the required change of surroundings than lots of people in rehabilitation need to have a productive rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't pay for the total cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but people in fact have a much more leverage because they can select whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women encounter. In addition, rehab programs will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities will take Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present another kind of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehab center that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment facility.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only in the state which offers the insurance.
