Drug Addiction Facts

  • Circumstances such as lower income and marital rates, high jobless rates and having marijuana-using acquaintances during adolescence and young adulthood are commonly reported among recreational marijuana users.
  • THC in marijuana is rapidly absorbed by fatty tissues in various organs, and traces of the THC found in marijuana can be detected by standard urine testing methods several days after smoking the drug.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a number of settings along with various rehabilitation lengths and plans to suit the varying needs of clients with any type of and level of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential programs now being paid by many insurance plans, there's no need to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab solutions regarding intensity of care, because the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to be in a rehabilitation program while receiving treatment services. While this might seem ideal it may not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many people in treatment require to have a successful rehab.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders are often given the choice or ordered to rehab as a term of their sentencing. Quite often, the offender can choose which rehab facility they wish to enroll in. When successfully completed, DUI and DWI offenders can take advantage of reduced sentencing options in order to move forward in their lives without getting penalized further.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but individuals really have a much more leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, treatment centers will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might qualify for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only inside the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug treatment service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment centers. Individuals might have to take part in a drug treatment program that's within their network of providers and there may be other limitations including the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent center they prefer and consult with a rehabilitation specialist to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option available from many different drug rehabilitation centers in an effort to help individuals pay for treatment where this might not have been possible originally. For instance, one client's fee for rehab could be different and lower than someone else whose financial situation is better making them better able to spend the money for full price of treatment. Registrars take into account additional circumstances aside from income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
