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.
  • In a 2009 report, the Government Accountability Office stated that a lack of knowledge about the "unique pharmacological properties" of methadone among prescribing physicians and patients has contributed to methadone overdoses.
  • Although inpatient treatment can take place in a hospital setting, for the most part a residential setting is typical, offering 24-hour care and surveillance. The most common form of treatment is a therapeutic community, involving the other patients and staff, focusing on helping the person understand the sources and conditions that lead to substance abuse.

With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential centers now being included in many insurance companies, you shouldn't have to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anybody who wants it.

Halfway House

A halfway house is a location which allows for an easy transition if somebody has become sober on their own or has finished an alcohol and drug treatment program and requires help re-acclimating to a regular lifestyle. Residing in a halfway house, or sober living facility as it is sometimes called, an aspect of sentencing if someone is found guilty of drug charges as well. If assistance is needed finding a halfway house, speak to a drug rehabilitation facility and consult with a rehabilitation specialist who will be able to point you in the right direction.

Residential Long-Term Treatment (More Than 30 Days)

Residential long-term treatment, which lasts in excess of 1 month, can be an option that provides the commensurate level of care and appropriate environment for anybody being affected by a life threatening addiction and dependency issue. Because individuals will stay inside a residential long-term rehab program for 3-6 months and even longer occasionally, these kinds of facilities provide all of the amenities needed to make a client's feel as relaxed and amenable as possible while providing high quality rehabilitation to help them overcome their addiction once and for all.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues are what are identified in the field of drug and alcohol rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must tackle both disorders whilst in rehab to find resolution simply because one often triggers the other. Fortunately, there are numerous alcohol and drug rehab centers who are able to specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders face to be able to not simply become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never wish to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Men

Just as women and men face varying and unique challenges in life which are specific to their gender, women and men can also face unique challenges in rehabilitation which are gender specific, which explains why a rehab specifically designed with these special needs and challenges in mind can be quite ideal for someone searching for an effective treatment solution.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals in fact have a much more leverage due to the fact they can select whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women face. Likewise, rehab centers will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some treatment programs accept Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present another type of private health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality treatment facility that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation center.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could qualify for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only in the state which offers the insurance.
