Drug Addiction Facts

  • Older adults who drink put themselves at higher risks for falls, car crashes, and other unintentional injuries.
  • Some studies suggest that a marijuana user's risk of heart attack during the first hour after having smoked the drug is four times his or her usual risk.
  • Many children being "treated" with prescription stimulants experience what is known as a "rebound effect", which is caused when the medication wears off during the day and the child experiences a period of aggression and irritability.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services with regards to intensity of care, since the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to remain in a rehabilitation facility while undergoing rehab services. Although this might seem ideal it might not provide the much needed change of environment than a lot of people in recovery need to have a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues are what are known in the field of drug and alcohol treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must address both disorders when it's in treatment in order to find resolution due to the fact one typically exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are many drug and alcohol rehab centers who are able to specifically address the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face in order to not only become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never feel the need to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use because of the problems that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the issue can be difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL along with other assistance services readily available for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is necessary. Aside from ASL, such services might include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are receiving the help they need in drug treatment.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities possess the staff or resources to cater to the demands of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately there are more and more centers that are able to do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than any other time. Counselling, study info and the like are now very often obtainable in Spanish in both short and long terms facilities which provide inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't cover the total 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 select whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present another kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality treatment center which will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only within the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some type of drug rehab service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment facilities. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug rehab facility that is within their network of providers and there may be other limitations such as just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a good program they like and speak with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.
