Drug Addiction Facts

  • Animal studies indicate that animals will work more persistently at pressing a bar for cocaine than for any other drug, including opiates. In one example, one monkey test subject pressed the bar 12,800 times until it got a single dose of cocaine. If the animal survives in such studies, it will return to the task of obtaining more cocaine.
  • There is concern among pediatricians that using prescription stimulants on children may affect their development, and it is still unknown how these drugs biologically affect the developing brain.
  • Fentanyl oral lozenges and injectables are also commonly diverted and abused.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anybody that should be safely managed through detoxification services when heavily addicted to drugs and alcohol, or who wants a broader spectrum of care such as someone who is dealing with a dual diagnosis so also needs mental health services as part of their rehabilitation process. You'll find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services available.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services in terms of intensity of care, because the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to remain in a rehabilitation center while receiving rehabilitation services. Even if this may seem perfect it will not provide the much needed change of environment than a lot of people in treatment have to have to have a successful rehabilitation.

Other Languages

In every city in the U.S. there's someone experiencing substance abuse that isn't necessarily fluent in English, who may need rehabilitation in whatever language it is they are fluent in so that their needs may be catered to properly when in rehab. Fortunately, there are numerous drug rehabilitation centers that have counselors on staff who speak other languages to make drug rehab the most effective experience possible for any individual. Simply discover a top quality drug treatment program and inquire if it is feasible to receive treatment in other languages.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but people really have a much more leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, rehabilitation centers will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation facilities will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present any other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality treatment center which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug rehab centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with establishing the person's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other kind 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 drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only in the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some type of drug rehabilitation service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab facilities. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug rehabilitation program which is inside their network of providers and there might be other restrictions like the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a quality program they like and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to ascertain 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 drug abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are 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 as to how long a stay in inpatient drug rehab is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before beginning treatment so that it is clear how much time and individual can remain in the rehabilitation facility of preference.
