Drug Addiction Facts

  • Used fentanyl patches are attractive to illicit abusers as quite a bit of fentanyl remains in these patches even after a 3-day use.
  • 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.
  • Like heroin and other opiates, if an user has developed a physical dependence to methadone and they stop taking it or decrease their dose they begin to experience methadone withdrawal. This happens after very short term use.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in several settings along with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to accommodate the various demands of clients with any type of and level of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being covered by many insurance plans, you shouldn't have to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services with regards to intensity of care, as the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to be in a treatment program while undergoing rehabilitation services. While this might seem perfect it might not provide the required change of environment than a lot of people in treatment need to have a productive rehabilitation.

Adolescents

When adolescents become involved in any type of drug use, it is important that they obtain top quality care to stop the problem in its tracks so that it doesn't worsen and maybe jeopardize their future. Because adolescent substance abuse which continues often carries on into adulthood, mothers and fathers must remain astute and get their adolescent rehab the moment a problem is noticed in a program which addresses adolescent drug use. A lot of facilities which deal with adolescents supply both inpatient and residential rehab, which has been shown to be the most beneficial environments for rehabilitation clients of this age.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders in many cases are given the possibility or ordered to rehab as part of sentencing. Quite often, the offender can decide which rehabilitation program they wish to go to. Upon successful completion, DUI and DWI offenders can take advantage of decreased sentencing options in order to progress in their lives without getting penalized any further.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into rehab as part of a court ruling to fulfill part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol treatment often receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when being cooperative with drug and alcohol rehabilitation requirements enforced with them as part of sentencing specifically naturally when successfully graduating an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse due to the challenges their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem is often difficult among the hearing impaired, there are ASL as well as other assistance services readily available for them when substance abuse rehabilitation is required. Other than ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are obtaining the support they require in drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many people face. In addition, rehabilitation centers will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab facilities accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present any other type of private health care insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality treatment facility which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehabilitation program.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment programs. Individuals might have to take part in a drug rehab program that is within their network of providers and there could be other limitations such as the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a quality program they like and speak with a rehab specialist to find out if their insurance covers it.
