Drug Addiction Facts

  • Snorting or oral ingesting meth produces euphoria but not an intense rush such as that which is experienced through smoking or injecting the drug.
  • Research of long-term recreational Ecstasy users has found that this type of use results in increased rates of depression and anxiety, even after quitting Ecstasy.
  • Sometimes the bottles used to produce meth using the "shake and bake" method explode, badly burning the meth cook and anyone else in the line of fire.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a number of settings with different treatment lengths and plans to accommodate the varying needs of clients with any type of and degree of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being covered by many insurance companies, you don't have to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

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 maintain their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to stay in a rehab center while receiving rehabilitation services. Although this may seem perfect it will not provide the required change of surroundings than lots of people in treatment need to have a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but people actually have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. Likewise, rehab centers will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers accept Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present any other type of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality treatment center which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehabilitation center.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug treatment service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehab programs. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment center which is inside their network of providers and there could be other restrictions such as the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a good facility they like and speak with a rehabilitation specialist to determine if their insurance will cover it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option available from a variety of alcohol and drug treatment centers in order to help individuals afford rehab where this might not have been doable initially. By way of example, one client's price for rehab could be different and lower than somebody else whose financial situation is better which makes them more prepared to pay for the full price of rehab. Registrars take into consideration additional factors apart from income including number of dependents to determine the final cost and using the sliding scale.
