Drug Addiction Facts

  • Inpatient treatment does not include detox as that usually occurs in a hospital environment but follows it.
  • Psychotic symptoms associated with methamphetamine use may linger for months or years after someone who has been addicted to the drug stops using it.
  • Oregon and Mississippi have made the key meth ingredient pseudoephedrine available by prescription-only, and since then meth lab incidents in these states plummeted.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anyone that needs to be safely managed through detoxification services when intensely dependent to drugs and/or alcohol, or who requires a broader spectrum of care such as somebody who has a dual diagnosis and also needs mental health services as part of their rehabilitation process. You can find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services available.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to level of care, because the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to remain in a treatment facility while undergoing treatment services. Even if this may appear ideal it may not provide the required change of atmosphere than many people in treatment have to have to have a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues are what are identified in the field of alcohol and drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must address both disorders while in rehabilitation in order to find resolution simply because one typically triggers the other. Luckily, there are many drug rehabilitation centers that can specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders face to be able to not simply become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not wish to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Persons With HIV/AIDS

Persons with HIV/AIDS who are in need of substance abuse rehabilitation will usually require services beyond what a standard alcohol and drug rehab program can provide. Because comprehensive healthcare services are often a vital part of the physical process of healing for addicts with HIV/AIDS, who most likely have experienced a progression and worsening of the disease due to their addiction, it is essential that these clients get the medical treatment needed in conjunction with any rehab solutions for drug abuse issue.

Gays and Lesbians

It is important that gays and lesbians obtain quality rehab solutions in a treatment environment that is discreet and with treatment professionals available to them who understand the unique challenges that they can experience in life. Because drug abuse for gays and lesbians is sometimes triggered by the challenges they face due to their sexual preference, a rehab which can help them handle these problems and give them the peace of mind that they've lacked before arriving in rehab is usually a crucial aspect of rehabilitation for gay and lesbian clients.

Seniors/Older Adults

Seniors and older adults who have a problem with drug use could have unique challenges they must conquer during treatment, which rehab professionals within the facility they choose to take part in have to be keen of in order that a complete recovery is achievable. So for seniors and older adults, it is advisable to select a center which is acquainted with helping seniors and older adults handle the unique life and drug abuse issues that these clients face which may include a broader spectrum of services including medical care and so on.

Spanish

Not all drug treatment centers possess the staff or resources to cater to the needs of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately there are more and more centers that will do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Counselling, study data and the like are now very often available in Spanish in both short and long terms facilities which deliver inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish rehab is available too around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but people in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can select whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many individuals face. In addition, rehabilitation programs will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present another type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality treatment center which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at alcohol and drug treatment facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in setting up the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only within the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug and alcohol treatment service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment facilities. Individuals may have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab program that's inside their network of providers and there might be other limitations for example the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a good program they prefer and meet with a rehab specialist to find out if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular drug abuse rehab solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some restrictions regarding how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before you start rehabilitation so that it's clear how long and individual can remain in the treatment center of choice.
