  • A chronic heroin user can often begin to experience withdrawal symptoms within hours of the last administration of the drug.
  • Deaths have occurred after snorting a single line of cocaine in recreational use where the average dose of 1 line is 20 mg.
  • Inpatient treatment programs often require the patient to live at the center fulltime for a fixed period of time after the withdrawal phase is complete, typically 1, 2 or 3 months.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services in terms of intensity of care, as the individual can preserve their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehab facility while receiving treatment services. While this might appear perfect it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many individuals in rehab have to have to have a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues are what are known in the field of drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must deal with both disorders whilst in treatment to find resolution due to the fact one often exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are numerous alcohol and drug rehab facilities that can specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face to enable them to not merely become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not feel the need to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present another form of private health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehab program which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at alcohol and drug rehab centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the person's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only inside the state which provides the insurance plan.
