Drug Addiction Facts

  • Ritalin is actually more potent than cocaine in its effect on the areas of the brain which produce dopamine, the "reward" chemical that the brain produces.
  • Animal studies indicate that animals will work more persistently at pressing a bar for cocaine than for any other drug, including opiates. In one example, one monkey test subject pressed the bar 12,800 times until it got a single dose of cocaine. If the animal survives in such studies, it will return to the task of obtaining more cocaine.
  • Taking even small amounts of meth can result in rapid heart rate, irregular heartbeat, increased blood pressure, and hyperthermia.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab solutions regarding level of care, as the individual can maintain their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehab facility while undergoing treatment services. Although this might appear ideal it will not provide the required change of environment than many people in rehab require to have a successful rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use due to problems that their impairment impose on them. While detection of the issue can sometimes be difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and also other assistance services available for them when substance abuse treatment is necessary. Aside from ASL, such services can include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are receiving the support they need in drug and alcohol rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehab facilities will take Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present another type of private health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality treatment center that will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug rehab center.
