Drug Addiction Facts

  • The average heroin addict in the United States reportedly spends an average of $200.00 a day on their habit.
  • Some of the reasons individuals give for abusing prescription drugs include academic pressures, maintaining focus with late-night study sessions, weight loss, feeling of euphoria, to cope with stress, and in party and social scenes.
  • A study of inpatient vs. outpatient alcohol rehabilitation found that, with everything else being equal, graduates of outpatient programs were 4 times more likely to be early treatment failures than inpatient clients. The same kind of results has been seen comparing inpatient and outpatient drug rehabilitation patients.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services with regards to level of care, since the individual can preserve their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to be in a rehab facility while receiving treatment services. Although this may appear perfect it may not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than lots of people in recovery have to have to have a successful rehab.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients get into rehab as part of a court ruling in order to meet a part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug rehab often receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when being cooperative with drug and alcohol treatment requirements enforced with them in sentencing specifically of course when successfully graduating an alcohol and drug treatment center.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and drug abuse as a result of challenges their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem can be hard among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL along with other assistance services designed for them when substance abuse rehabilitation is necessary. Besides ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are receiving the help they require in drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many individuals face. Likewise, rehab centers will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present some other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehab center that will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug rehab facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the center is included 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 rehab strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only inside the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some form of drug rehab service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment facilities. Individuals may have to participate in a drug rehabilitation center that is in their network of providers and there can be other limitations like just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a good program they prefer and consult with a rehab specialist to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs in addition to partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some restrictions as to how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered before you start rehab so that it is clear the length of time and individual can remain in the treatment program of choice.
