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.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anybody who should be safely managed through detoxification services when intensely addicted to drugs, or who wants a better spectrum of care such as somebody who is dealing with a dual diagnosis and also needs mental health solutions as part of their rehab procedure. There are both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services offered.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse due to the challenges that their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem can sometimes be hard among the hearing impaired, there are ASL and other assistance services readily available for them when drug abuse treatment is required. Aside from ASL, such services might include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are getting the help they require in alcohol and drug treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but people actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many men and women face. In addition, rehabilitation programs will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers accept Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present some other kind of private health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals might want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation program that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug treatment programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in establishing the person's treatment plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some kind of alcohol and drug treatment service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals may have to take part in a drug rehabilitation center that's within their network of providers and there might be other limitations including the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a quality center they like and consult with a treatment specialist to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.
