Drug Addiction Facts

  • Some addicts intentionally make the choice to use a form of heroin or cocaine which has been laced with fentanyl, in a desperate search for an increasingly better high.
  • Like heroin and other opiates, if an user has developed a physical dependence to methadone and they stop taking it or decrease their dose they begin to experience methadone withdrawal. This happens after very short term use.
  • In England in 1996, more than twice as many people died from methadone as died from heroin.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab solutions with regards to level of care, since the individual can keep their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehab center while undergoing rehabilitation services. While this might seem perfect it will not provide the much needed change of environment than many individuals in recovery require to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders are what are recognized in the field of drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must address both disorders whilst in treatment to find resolution because one usually exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are several drug treatment facilities who are able to specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues face to be able to not merely become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not want to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use due to problems their impairment impose on them. While detection of the issue is often difficult among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL and other assistance services readily available for them when drug abuse rehab is required. Besides ASL, such services may include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are obtaining the support they require in alcohol and drug rehab.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs possess the staff or wherewithal to cater to the needs of Spanish speaking clientele, but thankfully there are more and more facilities that can do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Therapy, study info and the like are actually very often obtainable in Spanish in both long and short terms facilities which provide inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is available too around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals really have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many individuals face. Likewise, treatment centers will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehab facilities accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present some other form of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehab facility which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in establishing the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only in the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some form of drug rehabilitation service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug treatment programs. Individuals could have to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment program that is in their network of providers and there could be other limitations including the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent program they prefer and speak with a treatment 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 certain substance abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs and also partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some restrictions about just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered prior to starting treatment so that it's clear how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation center of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option available from a number of drug and alcohol rehab facilities to help help clients afford rehab where this may not have been doable originally. By way of example, one client's price for treatment could be different and lower than another person whose financial situation is better which makes them more prepared to spend the money for full expense of rehab. Registrars take into account additional circumstances apart from income including amount of dependents to determine the final cost and using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug rehabilitation facilities offer payment assistance to help individuals who might not have adequate money to self pay for rehabilitation or whose health insurance won't provide coverage or full coverage for their stay. For instance, Sometimes insurance only covers a short-term program when in actuality a long-term facility will probably be the more appropriate option. To find out what payment assistance can be offered, such as a sliding fee scale, check with the program for particulars.
