Drug Addiction Facts

  • When cocaine and alcohol are used together the human liver manufactures a third substance, cocaethylene, which intensifies cocaine's euphoric effects, while possibly increasing the risk of sudden death.
  • Chronic use of crack cocaine can exacerbate violent behavior among those with previously violent tendencies and it can also create aggressive behavior in some users who aren't prone to this behavior.
  • A 2008 report from the "New York Times" addressed additional programs within the confines of inpatient substance treatment centers that have beneficial outcomes. These include psychotherapy techniques and cognitive behavior therapy.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a variety of settings with various treatment lengths and plans to suit the various demands of clients with any type of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being included in many insurance companies, you don't have to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services regarding level of care, as the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to remain in a treatment center while receiving rehabilitation services. Although this may seem ideal it might not provide the required change of environment than a lot of people in rehab have to have to have a productive rehab.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders in many cases are given the possibility or ordered to treatment as part of sentencing. Sometimes, the offender can decide which treatment facility they would like to attend. Upon successful completion, DUI and DWI offenders can take advantage of reduced sentencing options to be able to progress in their lives without having to be penalized any more.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse due to the challenges their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem can be hard among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL along with other assistance services readily available for them when substance abuse rehab is necessary. Besides ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are obtaining the support they require in drug rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities have the staff or wherewithal to focus on the demands of Spanish speaking clients, but thankfully there are more and more facilities that will do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Counselling, study information and so on are actually frequently obtainable in Spanish in both long and short terms facilities which deliver inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish treatment is available too nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of treatment or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many men and women face. Likewise, treatment centers will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities accept Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present another type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehab program which will get better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in setting up the individual's treatment plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare 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 possibility. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug and alcohol treatment service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab facilities. Individuals might have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program that's in their network of providers and there could be other limitations like the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent facility they like and consult with a treatment specialist to determine if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain substance abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers and also partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some restrictions as to the length of time a stay in inpatient drug rehab is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered before you begin treatment so that it is clear how long and individual can remain in the rehab facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option offered by many different drug rehab programs in an effort to help individuals pay for rehab where this might not have been possible originally. By way of example, one client's price for rehabilitation could be different and less than somebody else whose finances are better making them more prepared to spend the money for full price of rehab. Registrars take into consideration additional circumstances besides income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
