Drug Addiction Facts

  • In 2008 it was estimated that there were 1.9 million past-month cocaine users in the U.S., of which approximately 359,000 were current crack users.
  • Studies indicate that cocaine may have a direct effect on blood vessels in the brain, causing them to go into spasm and narrow, resulting in a decrease of blood to the brain, and may even cause inflammation in the blood vessels of the brain and cause stroke.
  • Medications called opiate receptor antagonists block the effects of opiate drugs, such as Naloxone for one, and overdoses of fentanyl should be treated immediately with an opiate antagonist.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but people actually have a much more leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, rehab facilities will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities accept Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present some other kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation facility which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some sort of alcohol and drug rehab service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehab centers. Individuals may have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab facility that's within their network of providers and there could be other restrictions including the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent program they prefer and meet with a treatment counselor to find out if their insurance covers it.
