Drug Addiction Facts

  • Once Ecstasy is consumed it takes only about 15 minutes for the drug to enter the bloodstream and reach the brain, and one "hit" of Ecstasy can last for 3 to 6 hours.
  • In high doses or when used concurrently with other drugs or alcohol, methadone can produce some of the same effects of heroin and other opiates.
  • Brain studies indicate that even acute short term use of Ecstasy can adversely affect the areas of the brain involved in higher thought processes, raising concerns regarding possible long-term effects on both infrequent and regular users of Ecstasy.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in many different settings with various rehab lengths and plans to suit the various demands of clients with any type of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential centers now being paid by many insurance plans, you don't have to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab solutions with regards to level of care, since the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to remain in a rehab facility while undergoing treatment services. Although this may seem ideal it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many people in treatment need to have a successful rehabilitation.

Residential Long-Term Treatment (More Than 30 Days)

Residential long-term rehabilitation, which lasts in excess of 30 days, can be an option that provides the commensurate level of care and suitable environment for anyone struggling with a significant addiction and dependency problem. Because individuals will stay in the residential long-term rehab center for approximately 3-6 months and even longer occasionally, these kinds of programs offer all the amenities needed to help client's remain as relaxed and amenable as it could possibly be while providing high quality treatment to enable them to overcome their habit permanently.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders are what are known in the field of drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must deal with both disorders whilst in rehab in order to find resolution simply because one often triggers the other. Fortunately, there are lots of alcohol and drug rehab centers that can specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues face to be able to not simply become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never consider it wise to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but individuals really have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people face. Likewise, rehab centers will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present another kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality treatment program that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab center.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only within the state which offers the insurance.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility available from a number of drug rehabilitation programs to help help clients pay for treatment where this might not have been possible initially. As an example, one client's price for treatment could possibly be different and less than another person whose financial situation is better making them more prepared to pay the full expense of treatment. Registrars consider other factors aside from income including number of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.
