Drug Addiction Facts

  • Fentanyl oral lozenges and injectables are also commonly diverted and abused.
  • Ecstasy affects many of the same areas of the brain that are targeted by other addictive drugs, and studies show that animals prefer the drug, much like they do cocaine, over other pleasurable stimuli, which is another hallmark of most addictive drugs.
  • Once Ecstasy is consumed it takes only about 15 minutes for the drug to enter the bloodstream and reach the brain, and one "hit" of Ecstasy can last for 3 to 6 hours.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but people actually have a much more leverage due to the fact they can select whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women encounter. In addition, treatment programs will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs will take Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present another form of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehabilitation facility that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at alcohol and drug rehab facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in establishing the individual's rehab strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only inside the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug and alcohol treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug treatment programs. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab program which is in their network of providers and there may be other limitations like the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a quality program they like and meet with a treatment specialist to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities and also partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some restrictions about just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it's clear just how long and individual can stay in the rehab center of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility offered by a number of drug treatment centers to help help individuals pay for rehab where this may not have been doable initially. For instance, one client's fee for rehab could possibly be different and lower than somebody else whose financial situation is better making them better able to pay for the full expense of treatment. Registrars take into account additional factors in addition to income including number of dependents to determine the final cost using the sliding scale.
