Drug Addiction Facts

  • Between April 2005 to March 2007 fentanyl overdoses resulted in roughly 1,000 deaths nationwide, including 86 in New Jersey, according to a report by the CDC.
  • Prescription stimulants are commonly abused because of how easily they are accessed, and can be obtained easily through friends and family, direct prescriptions from a physician, or a prescription "drug dealer." However, the most common source of prescription stimulants is the medicine cabinets of the individual's friends and family.
  • In 2007, Florida listed methadone as a cause in 785 deaths, up from 367 in 2003.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are available to anybody who has to be safely managed through detox services when seriously dependent to drugs and/or alcohol, or who needs a broader spectrum of care such as somebody who has a dual diagnosis so also requires mental health solutions during their rehabilitation process. You can find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services accessible.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of intensity of care, as the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to stay in a rehab program while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even if this might appear ideal it will not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many individuals in recovery have to have to experience a productive rehab.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use because of the problems their impairment impose on them. While detection of this problem can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL and also other assistance services available for them when drug abuse treatment is necessary. Other than ASL, such services can include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired folks are getting the support they require in alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, treatment facilities will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present another kind of private health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality treatment program that will produce better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug rehabilitation facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with setting up the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If a person doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might qualify for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only in the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some form of drug and alcohol treatment service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab facilities. Individuals could have to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment center that is inside their network of providers and there may be other restrictions for example just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent facility they prefer and meet with a rehab specialist to find out if their insurance covers it.

Military Insurance (E.G., Va, Tricare)

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain drug abuse treatment services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some limitations as to how long a stay in inpatient drug treatment is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before you begin rehab so that it is clear just how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation center of choice.
