Drug Addiction Facts

  • When fentanyl binds to opioid receptors this in turn elevates dopamine levels in the brain's reward areas, which then produces a state of euphoria and relaxation.
  • During the stay in the inpatient treatment center, patients are learning to manage and identify their drug addictions and to find alternative ways to cope with whatever is the cause of their substance addiction.
  • Although inpatient substance therapy can take place in a hospital setting, for the most part a residential environment is typical, offering 24-hour supervision and care.

Hospital Inpatient

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

Seniors/Older Adults

Seniors and older adults who struggle with substance abuse could have unique obstacles they have to overcome whilst in treatment, which treatment professionals in the center they decide to be a part of have to be keen of so that a full recovery is achievable. So for seniors and older adults, it is wise to pick a rehab which is used to helping seniors and older adults address the unique life and drug abuse issues that these clients face that might include a broader spectrum of solutions including health care and the like.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients get into rehabilitation due to a court order to satisfy part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol treatment frequently receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when being cooperative with alcohol and drug rehab requirements enforced on them as part of sentencing and particularly of course when successfully graduating a drug treatment program.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but people really have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter. In addition, rehabilitation facilities will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present some other kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality treatment facility that will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug and alcohol rehab centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in establishing the individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only within the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some kind of alcohol and drug rehab service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehab facilities. Individuals may have to participate in a drug rehab facility that's inside their network of providers and there can be other limitations like how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select an excellent facility they prefer and meet with a treatment counselor to find out if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain substance abuse treatment services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities along with 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 as to how much time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before you begin treatment so that it is clear how long and individual can stay in the treatment facility of preference.
