Drug Addiction Facts

  • Studies indicate that the brains of Ecstasy users who experience serotonin depletion take a significant amount of time to restore the level of serotonin needed to perform important physiological and psychological functions.
  • Patients who require detox services due to concerns about withdrawal also benefit from inpatient programs, as detox services can be included as a part of inpatient treatment programs. After detox (if needed), patients undergo an intensive, daily drug/alcohol treatment regimen to learn about the addiction in a supportive, immersive environment.
  • Crystal meth is a more potent version of meth, and typically resembles small fragments of shiny white pebbles or rocks which can be smoked using glass pipes that are very similar to the pipes that are used to smoke crack cocaine.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in several settings with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to accommodate the various demands of clients with any kind of and amount of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being paid by many insurance plans, you shouldn't have to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who wants it.

Detoxification

Detoxification from drugs and alcohol is really a process which can be made far more manageable and safely overseen when in a proper detox or drug treatment facility. Often detoxification isn't risk free, and even with the best of intentions individuals who undergo detoxification by themselves so that they can get sober might really be putting their health or even their lives at risk. It is always far better to seek detoxification services inside a professional program to prevent such hazards as well as have a smooth transition from detoxification to rehabilitation at a quality drug rehab program.

Methadone Detoxification

It isn't uncommon for individuals who use methadone as an answer to heroin or prescription opioid addiction to find that they're now hooked on methadone. To get off of methadone can be extremely tough, because withdrawal symptoms can be even worse compared to those experienced with heroin. Methadone detoxification can take place within a detox facility however where these symptoms can be made more manageable therefore that there are less likelihood of relapse so that the person could very well be off of all drugs permanently.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions with regards to intensity of care, as the individual can maintain their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to be in a rehabilitation facility while receiving rehabilitation services. While this may appear ideal it might not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many people in rehab need to experience a productive rehab.

Pregnant/Postpartum Women

Pregnant and postpartum women don't just require help from a high quality treatment for their own health and wellbeing but in addition for the wellbeing of their unborn baby or for the little one they've delivered who has to be properly looked after while they become rehabilitated and in turn capable of being a better mother. Rehabilitation possibilities exist which provide them along with their child the appropriate healthcare services while also ensuring they obtain the rehab they might need to become sober and be able to stay that way in order to be the very best parent they can be.

Spanish

Not all drug rehabilitation centers possess the staff or resources to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clientele, but fortunately there are more and more centers that are able to do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than any other time. Therapy, study information and so on are actually very often obtainable in Spanish in both short and long terms facilities which provide inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish treatment is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but people actually have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many individuals face. In addition, rehabilitation facilities will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present another form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation center which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment program.
