Drug Addiction Facts

  • All stimulants, whether prescription or illicit such as methamphetamine, work by increasing dopamine levels in the brain; dopamine is a brain chemical which has to do with pleasure, movement, and attention. This is what produces a high when abused.
  • Not all inpatient drug/alcohol rehabilitations are alike. The type of care, treatment and counseling provided in the various rehab programs will have much to do with lasting sobriety.
  • Prescription opioid pain medications such as Oxycontin and Vicodin can have effects similar to heroin, and statistics and studies indicate that abuse of these drugs may open the door to heroin abuse.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse because of the challenges that their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem can sometimes be difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and other assistance services readily available for them when drug abuse rehab is required. Apart from ASL, such services can include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are getting the help they need in drug and alcohol treatment.

Spanish

Some treatment centers accept Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present some other type of private health care insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may choose to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehab center that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab program.

Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility provided by a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in an effort to help individuals afford rehab where this might not have been doable initially.

Registrars take into account variables in addition to income including number of dependents to determine the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
