Drug Addiction Facts

  • 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.
  • According to a report written by the "Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality", inpatient treatment programs for addiction are designed to provide help to individuals who cannot manage their health alone.
  • Cocaine abuse has been linked to heart problems including artery blockages and heart attacks.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment services regarding level of care, since the individual can keep their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to be in a treatment facility while receiving rehab services. Even if this may seem perfect it may not provide the required change of environment than lots of people in recovery need to experience a productive rehab.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and drug abuse due to challenges their impairment impose on them. While detection of this problem is often hard among the hearing impaired, there are ASL along with other assistance services intended for them when substance abuse rehabilitation is required. Other than ASL, such services can include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are obtaining the help they require in drug treatment.

Spanish

Not all drug rehab facilities possess the staff or wherewithal to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clients, but luckily there are more and more programs that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Counselling, study data and stuff like that are now very often available in Spanish in both short and long terms facilities which provide inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but people in fact have a great deal of leverage because they can select whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. In addition, rehab centers will often offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation facilities will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present some other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals may want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehabilitation center that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug and alcohol treatment 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 person's rehab strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some form of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment centers. Individuals might have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment facility that is within their network of providers and there could be other limitations for example the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select an excellent facility they prefer and consult with a treatment specialist to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility made available from numerous drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in order to help clients afford rehab where this may not have been doable originally. For example, one client's price for rehabilitation could possibly be different and lower than another individual whose finances are better making them better able to pay the full expense of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account other factors besides income including number of dependents to ascertain the final cost and using the sliding scale.
