Drug Addiction Facts

  • Animal studies indicate that animals will work more persistently at pressing a bar for cocaine than for any other drug, including opiates. In one example, one monkey test subject pressed the bar 12,800 times until it got a single dose of cocaine. If the animal survives in such studies, it will return to the task of obtaining more cocaine.
  • There is concern among pediatricians that using prescription stimulants on children may affect their development, and it is still unknown how these drugs biologically affect the developing brain.
  • Fentanyl oral lozenges and injectables are also commonly diverted and abused.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in several settings along with various rehab lengths and plans to accommodate the varying needs of clients with any sort of and level of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential centers now being included in many insurance plans, there is no need to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who needs it.

Detoxification

Detoxification from drugs and alcohol is a course of action which can be made much more manageable and safely overseen when in a professional detox or drug treatment program. Sometimes detoxification isn't risk free, and even with the best of intentions people who undergo detoxification by themselves in order to get sober might really be putting their health and even their lives at risk. It is always far better to seek detoxification solutions inside a professional facility to avoid such hazards and also to have a smooth progression from detoxification to rehabilitation in a quality drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to level of care, as the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to stay in a rehab program while receiving rehab services. Even if this may seem perfect it will not provide the required change of atmosphere than many people in rehab require to have a successful rehab.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders are often given the possibility or ordered to treatment as part of sentencing. Quite often, the offender can choose which rehab facility they would like to go to. When successfully completed, DUI and DWI offenders benefit from decreased sentencing options to enable them to progress in their lives without having to be penalized further.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals in fact have a much more leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. In addition, rehab programs will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present any other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to cover a more quality treatment facility which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehabilitation program.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only in the state which provides the insurance coverage.
