Drug Addiction Facts

  • Methadone is a synthetic opiate prescription drug which is used as "maintenance" treatment for heroin and other opiate addiction, because it curbs cravings for opiates and other opioid prescription drugs and also prevents withdrawal from these drugs.
  • Some addicts intentionally make the choice to use a form of heroin or cocaine which has been laced with fentanyl, in a desperate search for an increasingly better high.
  • All forms of marijuana contain THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) and more than 400 other chemicals besides THC.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in several settings and with different rehab lengths and plans to accommodate the varying demands of clients with any sort of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential centers now being paid by many insurance plans, there is no need to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services regarding intensity of care, as the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to remain in a rehab center while receiving rehabilitation services. While this may appear perfect it might not provide the required change of environment than many individuals in rehabilitation require to have a successful rehabilitation.

Adolescents

When adolescents get involved in any type of drug abuse, it is essential that they obtain high quality care to stop the situation in its tracks so that it doesn't get any worse and perhaps put their future in jeopardy. Because adolescent substance abuse which continues often continues into one's adult life, parents must continue to be astute and get their adolescent treatment when a problem is noticed in a center which addresses adolescent drug use. Many programs which deal with adolescents offer both inpatient and residential rehab, that has been proven to be the perfect environments for rehabilitation clients of this age.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into rehab as part of a court ruling in order to meet a part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation often receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when cooperating with alcohol and drug rehab specifications enforced on them in sentencing especially of course when successfully graduating a drug and alcohol treatment facility.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but people really have a much more leverage simply because they can select whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab facilities will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present some other form of private health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals might want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehab program which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug treatment facility.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they can talk with 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 handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only in the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab center which is in their network of providers and there may be other limitations including how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent facility they like and consult with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance will take care of it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option made available from numerous alcohol and drug treatment facilities in an effort to help individuals pay for treatment where this may not have been doable initially. For example, one client's price for rehab could possibly be different and lower than somebody else whose financial situation is better making them better able to spend the money for full expense of treatment. Registrars take into account other factors aside from income including amount of dependents to determine the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
