Drug Addiction Facts

  • 24% of patients involved in inpatient treatment are forced out of the program due to legal issues, incarceration, and termination of treatment.
  • In Washington State, more 18-to-29-year-olds are seeking treatment for heroin abuse than for alcohol abuse.
  • Heroin overdoses and overdose deaths are increasing in many areas of the country, due to high heroin purity, heroin at street level which is laced with other opioids such as fentanyl, increasing numbers of heroin abusers initiating use at a younger age, and inexperienced users switching from prescription opioids to heroin.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions 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 lots of ways with no commitment of needing to be in a treatment center while receiving rehab services. Even if this might appear ideal it might not provide the required change of environment than many people in treatment require to have a productive rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse because of the problems their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem is often difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL along with other assistance services intended for them when drug abuse treatment is required. Besides ASL, such services can include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are receiving the help they need in alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all drug rehab programs possess the staff or wherewithal to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately there are more and more programs that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Therapy, study data and so on are now very often accessible in Spanish in both long and short terms facilities which deliver inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is also available nationwide.

Other Languages

In each and every city in the U.S. there's someone struggling with drug abuse that isn't necessarily fluent in English, who may require rehab in whichever language it is they are fluent in to ensure their needs can be catered to properly while in treatment. Thankfully, there are numerous drug rehab programs who have counselors on staff who speak other languages to make alcohol and drug rehab the best experience possible for any individual. Simply look for a quality drug treatment center and inquire if it is possible to receive treatment in other languages.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many men and women face. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will often provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in establishing the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.
