Drug Addiction Facts

  • Intramuscular heroin injection produces a slightly slower onset of heroin's euphoric feeling, taking approximately 5 to 8 minutes.
  • While an inpatient program for addiction is meant to provide care in a hospital or clinic setting, a residential program is intended to give a more home-like, welcoming feel.
  • The length of time that an individual must stay in an inpatient program can vary dramatically, but according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, nearly all programs require patients to stay enrolled for 90 days.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions with regards to level of care, for the reason that individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to remain in a rehab center while receiving rehabilitation services. Even if this may appear perfect it will not provide the required change of atmosphere than many people in recovery have to have to have a productive rehab.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs possess the staff or wherewithal to cater to the needs 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 any other time. Therapy, study information and stuff like that are actually frequently obtainable in Spanish in both short and long terms programs which deliver inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can select whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many individuals face. Likewise, rehabilitation centers will often provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities accept Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present some other form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehabilitation center that will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug rehabilitation facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in setting up the individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation 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 expense of drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only within the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some type of drug and alcohol treatment service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals could possibly have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab center that's within their network of providers and there may be other limitations like how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent facility they like and meet with a treatment counselor to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular drug abuse treatment services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some restrictions as to how long a stay in inpatient drug rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before you begin rehab so that it's clear how much time and individual can stay in the rehabilitation program of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility provided by many different drug rehabilitation programs in an effort to help clients afford rehabilitation where this may not have been doable originally. For instance, one client's price for treatment could be different and lower than somebody else whose financial situation is better making them better able to spend the money for full price of rehab. Registrars consider other factors apart from income including number of dependents to determine the final cost and using the sliding scale.
