Drug Addiction Facts

  • The biggest reason to consider using an inpatient drug and alcohol rehab center or program is the higher success rate. Statistics show that people who spend more than 30 days at an inpatient program, almost double their rate of long-term success and they are also not nearly as likely to relapse.
  • When prescription stimulant pills are crushed and injected, insoluble fillers in the tablets can block small blood vessels and cause serious health complications.
  • Extensive studies indicate that babies born to mothers who abuse cocaine during pregnancy are often prematurely delivered, have low birth weights and smaller head circumferences, and are often shorter in length.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment services with regards to level of care, as the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehab center while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even if this might appear perfect it might not provide the required change of atmosphere than many individuals in treatment require to have a successful rehab.

Persons With HIV/AIDS

Persons with HIV/AIDS who are in need of drug abuse rehab will frequently require services beyond what a standard drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility can deliver. Simply because extensive healthcare services in many cases are an important part of the physical recovery process for addicts with HIV/AIDS, who very likely have experienced a progression and worsening of the disease because of their addiction, it is essential that these clients have the medical care needed together with any rehabilitation services for their drug use issue.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol treatment programs have the staff or wherewithal to focus on the needs of Spanish speaking clientele, but thankfully there are more and more facilities that are able to do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Counselling, study information and stuff like that are actually very often accessible in Spanish in both short and long terms centers which provide inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish treatment is available too around the country.

Other Languages

In every city in the U.S. there is someone experiencing substance abuse that isn't necessarily fluent in English, who might need rehabilitation in whatever language it is that they are fluent in to ensure that their needs may be met properly while in rehab. Thankfully, there are many drug rehab facilities that have counselors within their facility who speak other languages to make alcohol and drug rehab the very best experience possible for anyone. Simply look for a high quality drug rehab center and inquire if it is possible to receive rehab in other languages.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but people in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many individuals face. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present any other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to cover a more quality treatment facility that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in setting up the person's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through 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.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only in the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some sort of alcohol and drug treatment service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug rehabilitation facility that's within their network of providers and there could be other restrictions for example the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a good center they prefer and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance will cover it.
