Drug Addiction Facts

  • More than 25% of marijuana treatment admissions in the nation are daily users immediately before they enter treatment.
  • Many heroin users are incarcerated, homeless, or not in a location where they can be surveyed to find out about heroin use, so the estimates concerning rates of heroin use in the U.S. are estimated to be much higher than are actually being reported.
  • Alcohol can damage the cells lining the stomach and intestines, blocking the absorption and breakdown of nutrients in those organs.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anybody who must be safely managed through detoxification services when heavily addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, or who requires a broader spectrum of care such as somebody who has a dual diagnosis and also requires mental health services as part of their rehabilitation process. You will find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services accessible.

Spanish

Not all drug rehab centers have the staff or resources to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clientele, but thankfully there are more and more programs that can do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Counselling, study data and stuff like that are actually very often accessible in Spanish in both long and short terms programs which provide inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish treatment is available too nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. In addition, rehabilitation facilities will often offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab facilities accept Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present some other form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation facility which will get better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at alcohol and drug rehab centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in setting up the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only in the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some sort of alcohol and drug treatment service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment centers. Individuals could have to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment program that is in their network of providers and there might be other restrictions such as how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent program they prefer and consult with a treatment counselor to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular substance abuse treatment services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some limitations as to the length of time a stay in inpatient drug treatment is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before beginning rehab so that it's clear just how long and individual can stay in the rehab program of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility offered by a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in order to help clients afford treatment where this may not have been doable originally. By way of example, one client's fee for rehab could possibly be different and less than another person whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to pay the full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars take into consideration additional factors besides income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug and alcohol rehab centers offer payment assistance to help individuals who may possibly not have sufficient resources to self pay for rehab or whose health insurance won't provide coverage or total coverage for their stay. For example, Sometimes insurance only covers a short-term facility when in reality a long-term center will likely be the more ideal option. To find out what payment assistance can be offered, for instance a sliding fee scale, check with the program for details.
