Drug Addiction Facts

  • After the initial euphoric feeling experienced from heroin use, users will alternate between both a wakeful and a drowsy state, sometimes called "nodding out" among users.
  • Heroin users eventually cease to experience feelings of pleasure from the drug, and they will have to continue taking the drug just to feel normal.
  • Studies indicate that youth who use alcohol before age 15 are five times more likely to become alcohol dependent than adults who begin drinking at age 21.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug treatment facilities possess the staff or resources to focus on the demands of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately there are more and more centers that are able to do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than any other time. Counselling, study information and stuff like that are actually frequently accessible in Spanish in both long and short terms programs which deliver inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but people actually have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many individuals face. In addition, rehab centers will often provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation facilities accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present some other form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality treatment facility which will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug treatment facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug rehab centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could qualify for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment facilities. Individuals could have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab center that is in their network of providers and there might be other restrictions including the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a good center they prefer and meet with a treatment specialist to determine if their insurance will handle it.
