Drug Addiction Facts

  • Methadone stays in the system as long as 59 hours, but only provides pain relief for up to 8 hours. Patients may need more pain relief before the drug is cleared from the body, and therefore administer another dose too soon resulting in toxic levels of the drug in the system which can lead to life-threatening changes in breathing and heart function.
  • Stimulant drugs such as crack and meth, can lead to delusional parasitosis; a mistaken belief they an user is infested with parasites also known as "coke bugs". These delusions are also often associated with high fevers and users often scratch themselves to the point of serious skin damage and bleeding.
  • The codeine concoction "Purple Drank", made popular by the hip hop community, has resulted in the deaths of several prominent users.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in several settings along with different treatment lengths and plans to accommodate the various demands of clients with any sort of and degree of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being paid by many insurance plans, you don't have to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anybody who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services regarding intensity of care, since the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to be in a treatment facility while receiving treatment services. While this might appear ideal it might not provide the required change of surroundings than many individuals in rehab need to have a successful rehab.

Adolescents

When adolescents get involved in any kind of substance abuse, it is essential that they obtain quality care to halt the problem in its tracks so that it doesn't get any worse and perhaps put their future in jeopardy. Because adolescent drug use which persists often carries on into one's adult life, mothers and fathers must stay astute and get their adolescent treatment as soon as a problem is observed in a program which addresses adolescent substance abuse. A lot of programs which treat adolescents supply both inpatient and residential rehabilitation, which has been proven to be the most beneficial environments for treatment clients of this age.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many people face. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will often provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option offered by a variety of drug rehabilitation programs to help help individuals pay for rehab where this may not have been doable initially. For example, one client's price for rehabilitation could possibly be different and less than somebody else whose finances are better which makes them better able to pay the full price of treatment. Registrars take into consideration variables apart from income including number of dependents to determine the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
