Drug Addiction Facts

  • Ecstasy causes many of its effects by releasing large amounts of the brain's reward chemical serotonin, after which the brain becomes significantly depleted of this important chemical which then causes negative behavioral aftereffects that users often experience for several days after taking the drug.
  • Medical examiners in Charleston, West Virginia listed methadone as contributing to 2,992 deaths in 2003, up from 790 in 1999. An estimated 82% of those deaths were listed as accidental, and most deaths involved combinations of methadone with other drugs, particularly prescription benzodiazepines.
  • The 5 and 10 mg strength methadone tablets are the only formulations approved by FDA for use in pain management and other formulations, including dispersible tablets, have been prescribed for pain control.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment services regarding level of care, as the individual can preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a rehab program while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even though this might appear ideal it may not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many people in recovery require to have a successful rehab.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use due to challenges their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem is often difficult among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL along with other assistance services intended for them when substance abuse rehabilitation is necessary. Aside from ASL, such services can include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are getting the support they require in drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but people in fact have a much more leverage due to the fact they can select whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many individuals face. In addition, treatment programs will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present some other kind of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality treatment program that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at alcohol and drug treatment programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with establishing the person's rehabilitation plan. 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 rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

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 possibility. If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only within the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some sort of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center that is inside their network of providers and there can be other restrictions including the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent center they like and consult with a rehabilitation specialist to find out if their insurance will cover it.

Military Insurance (E.G., Va, Tricare)

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some limitations as to just how long a stay in inpatient drug rehab is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered before you start treatment so that it's clear just how long and individual can remain in the rehab facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option offered by a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in an effort to help clients afford rehabilitation where this might not have been doable initially. By way of example, one client's price for rehabilitation may be different and less than another individual whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to spend the money for full price of treatment. Registrars take into consideration variables besides income including amount of dependents to determine the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
