Drug Addiction Facts

  • Research shows that the driving skills of someone under the influence of marijuana are impaired for at least 4-6 hours after smoking a single marijuana cigarette, long after the "high" is gone.
  • Heroin can either be injected into a vein ("mainlining"), smoked in a water pipe or standard pipe, mixed in a marijuana joint or regular cigarette, inhaled as smoke through a straw or snorted as powder through the nose.
  • More than 25% of marijuana treatment admissions in the nation are daily users immediately before they enter treatment.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anybody that should be safely managed through detox services when seriously addicted to alcohol and drugs, or who needs a better spectrum of care such as somebody who has a dual diagnosis and also needs mental health solutions as part of their rehab procedure. There are both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services offered.

Seniors/Older Adults

Seniors and older adults who struggle with drug abuse could have distinctive challenges they have to overcome during rehab, which rehab professionals in the rehab they decide to take part in must be keen of so that a complete recovery may be possible. So for seniors and older adults, it is prudent to pick a rehab that is familiar with helping seniors and older adults address the distinctive life and substance abuse issues that these clients face which may include a broader spectrum of services including medical care and so on.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many men and women face. Likewise, rehab centers will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present another type of private health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals might want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehab center that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug rehab centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in setting up the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only in the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some type of drug treatment service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab facilities. Individuals might have to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment facility that's within their network of providers and there could be other restrictions for example just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select an excellent center they like and consult with a treatment counselor to find out if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular drug abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some restrictions concerning how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered before you start rehab so that it's clear how much time and individual can stay in the rehabilitation program of preference.
