Drug Addiction Facts

  • Medications which should not be consumed with alcohol due to dangerous drug interaction include aspirin, acetaminophen, cold and allergy medicine, cough syrup, sleeping pills, pain medication and anxiety or depression medicine.
  • Using marijuana puts children and teens in contact with people who are users and sellers of other drugs, posing more of a risk that a marijuana user will be exposed to and urged to try more drugs.
  • Heavy drinkers are more susceptible to pneumonia, lung collapse and pulmonary infections.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services with regards to intensity of care, because the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to remain in a treatment program while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even if this may appear perfect it might not provide the required change of environment than many individuals in rehab have to have to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but people in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people face. In addition, treatment programs will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present any other kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehab facility which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug rehabilitation facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in establishing the individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only in the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some form of drug rehab service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals might have to participate in a drug rehab facility that's in their network of providers and there could be other limitations for example the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a good center they prefer and consult with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain drug abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs and also partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some limitations regarding how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before you begin rehab so that it's clear how long and individual can stay in the treatment program of choice.
