Drug Addiction Facts

  • Older adults who drink have an increased sensitivity to alcohol due to the fact that aging can lower the body's tolerance for alcohol, and therefore experience the effects of alcohol more readily than when they were younger.
  • Oregon and Mississippi have made the key meth ingredient pseudoephedrine available by prescription-only, and since then meth lab incidents in these states plummeted.
  • There have been a number of deaths in recent years caused by PMA which was sold as Ecstasy, a potent and highly neurotoxic hallucinogenic amphetamine.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in many different settings and with various rehabilitation lengths and plans to accommodate the various demands of clients with any type of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential centers now being included in many insurance companies, there's no need to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab solutions with regards to intensity of care, since the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to stay in a treatment facility while receiving rehabilitation services. Even if this may appear perfect it might not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many people in treatment need to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Adolescents

When adolescents become involved in any sort of drug use, it is important that they acquire top quality care to stop the problem in its tracks so that it doesn't get any worse and perhaps jeopardize their future. Because adolescent drug abuse which persists often continues into adulthood, parents must remain vigilant and get their adolescent rehab when a problem is observed in a center which addresses adolescent drug abuse. Many programs which treat adolescents offer both inpatient and residential rehabilitation, that has been shown to be the most effective environments for treatment clients of this age.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders are what are known in the field of drug and alcohol rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must tackle both disorders whilst in rehabilitation in order to find resolution because one usually triggers the other. Fortunately, there are lots of drug treatment centers that can specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face so that they can not only become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never feel the need to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

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 detection of this issue can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL as well as other assistance services intended for them when drug abuse rehab is needed. Other than ASL, such services can include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are getting the help they require in alcohol and drug treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many men and women face. In addition, rehab facilities will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities will take Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present another form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality treatment center that will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug rehab facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with setting up the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment 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 alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. If a person doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might qualify for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only inside the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some kind of alcohol and drug treatment service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment centers. Individuals could have to participate in a drug rehabilitation facility that's in their network of providers and there might be other restrictions like just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a good center they prefer and consult with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular substance abuse treatment solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers as well as partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some restrictions regarding how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered prior to starting treatment so that it is clear just how long and individual can remain in the rehabilitation center of choice.
