Drug Addiction Facts

  • Older adults who drink have an increased sensitivity to alcohol due to the fact that aging can lower the body's tolerance for alcohol, and therefore experience the effects of alcohol more readily than when they were younger.
  • Oregon and Mississippi have made the key meth ingredient pseudoephedrine available by prescription-only, and since then meth lab incidents in these states plummeted.
  • There have been a number of deaths in recent years caused by PMA which was sold as Ecstasy, a potent and highly neurotoxic hallucinogenic amphetamine.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in many different settings and with various rehabilitation lengths and plans to accommodate the various demands of clients with any type of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential centers now being included in many insurance companies, there's no need to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab solutions with regards to intensity of care, since the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to stay in a treatment facility while receiving rehabilitation services. Even if this may appear perfect it might not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many people in treatment need to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Adolescents

When adolescents become involved in any sort of drug use, it is important that they acquire top quality care to stop the problem in its tracks so that it doesn't get any worse and perhaps jeopardize their future. Because adolescent drug abuse which persists often continues into adulthood, parents must remain vigilant and get their adolescent rehab when a problem is observed in a center which addresses adolescent drug abuse. Many programs which treat adolescents offer both inpatient and residential rehabilitation, that has been shown to be the most effective environments for treatment clients of this age.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders are what are known in the field of drug and alcohol rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must tackle both disorders whilst in rehabilitation in order to find resolution because one usually triggers the other. Fortunately, there are lots of drug treatment centers that can specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face so that they can not only become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never feel the need to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and substance abuse because of the challenges that their impairment impose on them. While detection of this issue can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL as well as other assistance services intended for them when drug abuse rehab is needed. Other than ASL, such services can include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are getting the help they require in alcohol and drug treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many men and women face. In addition, rehab facilities will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities will take Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present another form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality treatment center that will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some kind of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug treatment facilities. Individuals might have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab facility that is inside their network of providers and there may be other restrictions including just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a good center they like and speak with a treatment specialist to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility available from a variety of drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in an effort to help clients afford rehab where this may not have been possible initially. As an example, one client's fee for rehabilitation might be different and someone else whose financial situation is better which makes them better able to pay for the full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars consider variables besides income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many alcohol and drug treatment programs provide payment assistance to help clients who may possibly not have enough funds to self pay for treatment or whose health insurance won't provide coverage or full coverage for his or her stay. For instance, Sometimes insurance only pays for a short-term program when in fact a long-term center will be the more suitable selection. To determine what payment assistance might be available, such as a sliding fee scale, talk with the center for particulars.
