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.
  • Prescription stimulants can suppress appetite, resulting in fewer calories consumed, which could in turn effect growth and development in children.

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.

Adolescents

When adolescents become involved in any kind of substance abuse, it is essential that they receive high quality care to halt the problem in its tracks so that it doesn't worsen and maybe jeopardize their future. Because adolescent drug use which persists often carries on into one's adult life, parents must remain vigilant and get their adolescent rehabilitation the moment a problem is noticed in a program which addresses adolescent drug use. A lot of facilities which treat adolescents supply both inpatient and residential rehab, which has been shown to be the most beneficial environments for rehabilitation clients of this age.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use as a result of challenges their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem can sometimes be hard among the hearing impaired, there are ASL and also other assistance services designed for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is necessary. Apart from ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are receiving the support they require in drug treatment.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol rehab centers have the staff or resources to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clientele, but luckily there are more and more centers that can do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than any other time. Counselling, study information and the like are actually very often obtainable in Spanish in both long and short terms facilities which deliver inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but people actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many individuals face. In addition, treatment facilities will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehab centers accept Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present some other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may choose to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehab center that will get better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment facility.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some kind of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab centers. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center that's in their network of providers and there can be other restrictions for example just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select an excellent center they prefer and meet with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance covers it.

Military Insurance (E.G., Va, Tricare)

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain substance abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers as well as partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some limitations concerning just how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it is clear the length of time and individual can remain in the rehabilitation center of choice.
