Drug Addiction Facts

  • A chronic heroin user can often begin to experience withdrawal symptoms within hours of the last administration of the drug.
  • Deaths have occurred after snorting a single line of cocaine in recreational use where the average dose of 1 line is 20 mg.
  • Inpatient treatment programs often require the patient to live at the center fulltime for a fixed period of time after the withdrawal phase is complete, typically 1, 2 or 3 months.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are available to anybody who should be safely managed through detox services when heavily dependent to drugs and alcohol, or who requires a better spectrum of care such as someone who is dealing with a dual diagnosis and also requires mental health services during their rehabilitation procedure. There are both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services accessible.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab solutions in terms of level of care, as the individual can keep their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehab program while undergoing rehab services. Although this might appear perfect it might not provide the required change of environment than many individuals in treatment need to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities possess the staff or resources to focus on the demands of Spanish speaking clientele, but luckily there are more and more centers that can do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than any other time. Therapy, study information and stuff like that are actually very often accessible in Spanish in both long and short terms programs which deliver inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish treatment is available too around the country.

Other Languages

In every city in America there is someone struggling with substance abuse that isn't necessarily fluent in English, who might require rehabilitation in whatever language it is they are fluent in so that their needs can be met properly when in treatment. Thankfully, there are many alcohol and drug rehab facilities that have counselors on staff who speak other languages to make drug and alcohol rehabilitation the very best experience possible for any individual. Simply find a top quality drug rehabilitation facility and find out if it is feasible to receive rehabilitation in other languages.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many individuals face. Likewise, treatment centers will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present any other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehabilitation facility that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug treatment centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in setting up the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they can check 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 usually only in the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some form of drug and alcohol rehab service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehab centers. Individuals could possibly have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program which is inside their network of providers and there may be other restrictions including how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select an excellent center they like and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain drug abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers as well as partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There could be some limitations concerning how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehab is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before you begin treatment so that it is clear how long and individual can stay in the rehab program of choice.
