Drug Addiction Facts

  • At least 15% of the reported opioid-related deaths in 2009 involved benzodiazepines such as Xanax and Valium in 17% of cases.
  • Overcoming meth addiction is often impossible without drug rehab, particularly because of severe physical and mental illnesses, including suicidal depression that results from meth use and meth withdrawal.
  • A recent study of cocaine abusers found elevated levels of serum C-reactive protein, a protein associated with inflammation, associated with endothelial abnormalities and coronary artery calcification. Both contribute to heart disease.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of intensity of care, because the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to be in a rehab program while receiving rehab services. Even though this may seem ideal it might not provide the much needed change of environment than lots of people in rehab require to experience a successful rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use due to challenges that their impairment impose on them. While detection of this issue is often hard among the hearing impaired, there are ASL along with other assistance services designed for them when substance abuse treatment is needed. Aside from ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are receiving the help they need in drug and alcohol treatment.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs have the staff or resources to focus on the requirements of Spanish speaking clientele, but luckily there are more and more facilities that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Counselling, study information and the like are now very often obtainable in Spanish in both long and short terms facilities which deliver inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is available too nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many people encounter. In addition, rehab facilities will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers will take Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present any other kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehab center that will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug rehab programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in setting up the person's treatment plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some form of drug and alcohol treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment programs. Individuals could have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program that is within their network of providers and there might be other restrictions such as the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent program they like and consult with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers as well as partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some restrictions concerning the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it's clear the length of time and individual can stay in the treatment program of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option made available from a number of drug and alcohol treatment centers to help help individuals pay for treatment where this might not have been possible originally. By way of example, one client's price for rehabilitation might be different and less than somebody else whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to pay the full price of rehab. Registrars take into consideration variables in addition to income including number of dependents to determine the final cost using the sliding scale.
