Drug Addiction Facts

  • Individuals taking part in a methadone maintenance program will get a "take home" dose on the weekend, because many centers are not open on Sundays.
  • Withdrawing from Fentanyl is very similar to that of heroin and it can be very uncomfortable and painful.
  • When fentanyl binds to opioid receptors this in turn elevates dopamine levels in the brain's reward areas, which then produces a state of euphoria and relaxation.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to level of care, as the individual can preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to remain in a treatment facility while receiving rehabilitation services. Although this may seem ideal it will not provide the much needed change of environment than many individuals in treatment require to have a successful rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all drug rehabilitation centers possess the staff or resources to cater to the demands of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately there are more and more programs that will do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Counselling, study info and so on are now very often accessible in Spanish in both long and short terms programs which provide inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehab is available too nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but people really have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present another kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals might want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehab center which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug rehab programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in establishing the individual's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other kind 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 can be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they can seek advice from 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 within the state which offers the insurance coverage.

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 rehab service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug treatment facilities. Individuals could have to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment program that's in their network of providers and there could be other limitations such as the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select a good center they like and speak with a rehab specialist to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain drug abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some limitations about how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it's clear the length of time and individual can remain in the rehabilitation program of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option made available from a variety of drug and alcohol treatment programs to help help clients afford treatment where this may not have been doable initially. By way of example, one client's fee for rehabilitation could possibly be different and lower than someone else whose financial situation is better making them more prepared to spend the money for full expense of treatment. Registrars consider other factors besides income including amount of dependents to determine the final cost and using the sliding scale.
