Drug Addiction Facts

  • Like all other opioid pain relieving medication, Fentanyl is abused for its intense euphoric effects.
  • Ecstasy is synthetically produced using chemicals and other substances such as caffeine, the active ingredient in over-the-counter cough syrup, amphetamines, PCP and even cocaine is sometimes added to or substituted for the amphetamines typically used to produce Ecstasy. The dose of MDMA in one tablet can vary from 12 mg all the way up to 131 mg, so the effects too can vary considerably.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services regarding level of care, because the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehabilitation center while receiving treatment services. Even if this may appear perfect it will not provide the required change of atmosphere than lots of people in rehabilitation have to have to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse problems are what are identified in the field of drug and alcohol rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must tackle both disorders when it's in treatment in order to find resolution simply because one typically exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are many drug and alcohol treatment centers who are able to specifically address the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues face to be able to not just become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never wish to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Seniors/Older Adults

Seniors and older adults who struggle with drug abuse could possibly have unique challenges they must conquer when in treatment, which rehab specialists in the program they decide to take part in must be keen of in order that a full recovery is possible. So for seniors and older adults, it is wise to decide on a rehab that is familiar with helping seniors and older adults handle the unique life and substance abuse issues that these clients face which might include a broader spectrum of solutions including health care and the like.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and substance abuse because of the challenges that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this problem can be hard among the hearing impaired, there are ASL and other assistance services available for them when substance abuse rehabilitation is necessary. Other than ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired people are getting the help they require in alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs have the staff or resources to cater to the demands of Spanish speaking clientele, but luckily there are more and more programs that are able to do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Counselling, study information and so on are now very often accessible in Spanish in both short and long terms programs which deliver inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but people really have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. Likewise, treatment centers will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities accept Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present some other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality treatment program that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in setting up the person's rehab plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug and alcohol treatment service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment centers. Individuals may have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center that is inside their network of providers and there may be other restrictions like just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a good center they prefer and meet with a rehabilitation specialist to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain substance abuse rehab services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some restrictions about how much time a stay in inpatient drug rehabilitation is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered before you start rehab so that it is clear the length of time and individual can stay in the treatment center of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility made available from many different drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in an effort to help clients pay for treatment where this might not have been doable originally. By way of example, one client's price for treatment may be different and someone else whose financial situation is better which makes them more prepared to spend the money for full expense of rehab. Registrars take into consideration variables apart from income including amount of dependents to determine the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
