Drug Addiction Facts

  • When fentanyl binds to opioid receptors this in turn elevates dopamine levels in the brain's reward areas, which then produces a state of euphoria and relaxation.
  • During the stay in the inpatient treatment center, patients are learning to manage and identify their drug addictions and to find alternative ways to cope with whatever is the cause of their substance addiction.
  • Although inpatient substance therapy can take place in a hospital setting, for the most part a residential environment is typical, offering 24-hour supervision and care.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a number of settings along with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to suit the various demands of clients with any sort of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being included in many insurance companies, you shouldn't have to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who needs it.

Detoxification

Detoxification from drugs is a process which can be made far more manageable and safely supervised when in a proper detox or drug treatment facility. Often detoxification isn't risk-free, and even with the best of intentions people who undergo detoxification independently in order to get sober could actually be putting their health and even their lives in danger. It is always best to seek detoxification services in a professional center in order to avoid such hazards and also to have a smooth progression from detoxification to treatment at a top quality drug and alcohol treatment facility.

Methadone Detoxification

It isn't uncommon for individuals who turn to methadone as a strategy to heroin or prescription opioid dependence to find that they're now addicted to methadone. To get off of methadone can be extremely challenging, because withdrawal symptoms can be even worse than those experienced with heroin. Methadone detoxification can take place inside a detox program however where these symptoms can be made more manageable so there's less odds of relapse so that the individual can be off of all drugs for good.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services regarding level of care, since the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to be in a treatment center while receiving rehab services. Although this might seem perfect it will not provide the required change of environment than many people in rehabilitation require to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance won't cover the total cost of treatment or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a much more leverage because they can select whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people face. Likewise, treatment centers will often provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present any other form of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals may want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehabilitation program which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehab program.
