Drug Addiction Facts

  • Meth use may lead to irreparable brain damage, because the drug destroys natural dopamine production sites in the brain.
  • Ecstasy users most often come from middle and upper class households.
  • Animal studies indicate that animals will work more persistently at pressing a bar for cocaine than for any other drug, including opiates. In one example, one monkey test subject pressed the bar 12,800 times until it got a single dose of cocaine. If the animal survives in such studies, it will return to the task of obtaining more cocaine.

Other than ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired people are getting the support they require in drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but individuals really have a much more leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehab centers will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs accept Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present some other form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehab center that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in establishing the individual's treatment 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 rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.
