Drug Addiction Facts

  • There are some inpatient programs that do not require a long period of admission, however, in these programs, the patient might stay at the facility for a few weeks, and then transition to an outpatient program for additional intensive care.
  • Snorting or oral ingesting meth produces euphoria but not an intense rush such as that which is experienced through smoking or injecting the drug.
  • Poisoning with ammonia from protracted use of poorly manufactured "freebase" is one of the many potentially serious health risks of using crack cocaine.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions regarding level of care, since the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to be in a rehab facility while receiving rehab services. While this might seem perfect it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many individuals in recovery require to have a successful rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use due to the problems their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL as well as other assistance services available for them when substance abuse treatment is necessary. Apart from ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are getting the support they need in drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but individuals really have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation centers will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some treatment programs will take Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present some other form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals might want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehab facility which will get better results, like a long-term residential drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in setting up the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered 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 rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only in the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some type of drug and alcohol treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals might have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program that is within their network of providers and there can be other limitations including how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent center they prefer and meet with a treatment specialist to find out if their insurance will take care of it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility provided by many different drug rehabilitation centers in an effort to help individuals afford rehabilitation where this might not have been possible originally. For example, one client's price for treatment could be different and another person whose financial situation is better which makes them better able to pay the full cost of rehab. Registrars take into consideration other factors apart from income including number of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.
