Drug Addiction Facts

  • Individuals with both alcohol and other drug use disorders often have more severe dependence-related problems and are also more likely to have psychiatric disorders, attempt suicide and suffer health problems.
  • The success rate of inpatient programs is a topic for debate among supporters and opposition.
  • Heroin overdoses and overdose deaths are increasing in many areas of the country, due to high heroin purity, heroin at street level which is laced with other opioids such as fentanyl, increasing numbers of heroin abusers initiating use at a younger age, and inexperienced users switching from prescription opioids to heroin.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anybody who needs to be safely managed through detoxification services when intensely dependent to drugs and alcohol, or who needs a broader spectrum of care such as somebody who is dealing with a dual diagnosis so also requires mental health services as part of their treatment procedure. There are both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services accessible.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab solutions in terms of level of care, since the individual can keep their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehab facility while undergoing treatment services. Although this might seem perfect it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than a lot of people in rehab need to have a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues are what are identified in the field of drug and alcohol rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must address both disorders during treatment to find resolution simply because one often exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are many drug rehab facilities who can specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders face so that they can not just become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not feel the need to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse due to the challenges their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and also other assistance services readily available for them when drug abuse treatment is needed. Apart from ASL, such services might include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are receiving the support they need in alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities possess the staff or resources to focus on the demands of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately there are more and more programs that can do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Therapy, study data and stuff like that are actually frequently accessible in Spanish in both long and short terms programs which provide inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish rehab is available too around the country.

Other Languages

In each and every city in the U.S. there's someone experiencing drug abuse that isn't necessarily fluent in English, who may require rehab in whichever language it is they are fluent in to ensure their needs may be met properly while in treatment. Fortunately, there are lots of alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers that have counselors within their facility who speak other languages to make alcohol and drug treatment the most effective experience possible for any individual. Simply look for a quality drug treatment center and inquire if it is feasible to receive rehabilitation in other languages.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people face. Likewise, rehab centers will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present another kind of private health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehab center that will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug rehab facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in setting up the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only inside the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehab service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment programs. Individuals may have to take part in a drug rehabilitation center that's within their network of providers and there might be other limitations such as how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a quality facility they prefer and meet with a rehab specialist to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular drug abuse treatment solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some restrictions regarding just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered before you start rehabilitation so that it is clear how long and individual can stay in the rehab facility of choice.
