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.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services with regards to level of care, for the reason that individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehabilitation program while undergoing rehab services. Even if this might seem perfect it might not provide the much needed change of environment than a lot of people in rehab need to have a productive rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all drug rehab programs have the staff or resources to cater to the demands of Spanish speaking clientele, but thankfully there are more and more programs that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than previously. Therapy, study info and the like are now very often obtainable in Spanish in both long and short terms facilities which provide inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many men and women face. Likewise, rehab facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab centers accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present some other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals might 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 program that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug treatment programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the center 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 rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like 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 can be used to cover the costs of drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only within the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some form of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals might have to participate in a drug rehab program that is in their network of providers and there can be other limitations for example just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a quality center they like and consult with a rehab specialist to find out if their insurance will handle it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility provided by a variety of drug treatment centers to help help individuals afford rehabilitation where this may not have been possible originally. For instance, one client's fee for rehabilitation might be different and lower than someone else whose finances are better making them better able to spend the money for full cost of treatment. Registrars take into account other factors apart from income including number of dependents to ascertain the final cost and using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many alcohol and drug rehab programs offer payment assistance to help clients who may not have enough funds to self pay for treatment or whose medical insurance won't provide coverage or full coverage for their stay. As an example, Sometimes insurance only covers a short-term facility when in reality a long-term program will likely be the more suitable choice. To determine what payment assistance can be available, like a sliding fee scale, consult the facility for particulars.
