Drug Addiction Facts

  • Heroin is the most commonly cited substance in mortality cases where illicit drugs are present in Philadelphia, and in 2011 heroin/morphine was found in 32.4 percent of cases.
  • Almost 80% of the Ecstasy related emergency department visits in 2008 involved Ecstasy in combination with alcohol or other drugs, with over 30% involving Ecstasy with one other drug, 15.0 percent involving two other drugs, 14.0 percent involving three other drugs, and 17.5 percent involving four or more other drugs.
  • The increase in serotonin caused by Ecstasy which produces a high also results in a low because the drug also interferes with its synthesis which leads to a considerable depletion of serotonin. As a result, it takes the human brain a significant amount of time to rebuild the store of serotonin needed to perform important physiological and psychological functions.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services with regards to intensity of care, since the individual can keep their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to be in a rehab center while receiving rehab services. Even if this might appear ideal it might not provide the required change of atmosphere than many individuals in rehabilitation have to have to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues are what are identified in the field of drug and alcohol rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must address both disorders when it's in rehabilitation in order to find resolution because one typically exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are many drug treatment centers who can specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders face so that they can not simply become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never want to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Gays and Lesbians

It is essential that gays and lesbians receive quality treatment solutions in a treatment environment that's discreet and with treatment specialists available to them who understand the distinctive problems which they have to deal with in life. Because drug abuse for gays and lesbians might be triggered by the challenges they face because of their sexual preference, a rehab that can help them resolve these problems and give them the confidence that they've lacked before arriving in rehabilitation can be a crucial aspect of rehab for gay and lesbian clients.

Seniors/Older Adults

Seniors and older adults who struggle with substance abuse could have distinctive challenges they must conquer when in treatment, which rehab specialists in the rehab they decide to take part in should be keen of to ensure a full recovery is achievable. So for seniors and older adults, it is wise to decide on a program that is familiar with helping seniors and older adults deal with the unique life and drug use issues that these clients face which may include a wider spectrum of solutions including medical treatment and so on.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients get into treatment as part of a court order in order to meet part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehab frequently receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when being cooperative with drug rehab requirements enforced on them in sentencing specifically naturally when successfully completing a drug treatment center.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use as a result of problems that their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL along with other assistance services designed for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is needed. Aside from ASL, such services can include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are receiving the support they require in alcohol and drug treatment.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol rehab programs have the staff or resources to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clients, but luckily there are more and more centers that can do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Counselling, study information and stuff like that are now very often obtainable in Spanish in both long and short terms facilities which provide inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish treatment is available too around the country.

Other Languages

In each and every city in the U.S. there is someone experiencing drug abuse that isn't necessarily fluent in English, who might require treatment in whichever language it is they are fluent in so that their needs may be met properly whilst in treatment. Fortunately, there are lots of drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs who have counselors within their facility who speak other languages to make alcohol and drug rehab the best experience possible for any individual. Simply discover a high quality alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility and find out if it is feasible to receive rehabilitation in other languages.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals really have a much more leverage due to the fact they can select whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, treatment facilities will often provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation facilities will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present another type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehabilitation center which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at alcohol and drug treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with setting up the person's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they can talk 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 rehab, but typically only within the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug rehabilitation service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility that is in their network of providers and there could be other restrictions for example just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a quality center they like and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to ascertain if their insurance covers it.
