Drug Addiction Facts

  • Circumstances such as lower income and marital rates, high jobless rates and having marijuana-using acquaintances during adolescence and young adulthood are commonly reported among recreational marijuana users.
  • THC in marijuana is rapidly absorbed by fatty tissues in various organs, and traces of the THC found in marijuana can be detected by standard urine testing methods several days after smoking the drug.
  • Prescription stimulants can suppress appetite, resulting in fewer calories consumed, which could in turn effect growth and development in children.

100% Confidential.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions with regards to intensity of care, because the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehabilitation facility while undergoing rehab services. Although this might appear perfect it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than a lot of people in rehabilitation need to experience a successful rehab.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients get into rehab due to a court order to meet a part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug rehab often receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when cooperating with drug and alcohol rehabilitation specifications enforced with them in sentencing and also naturally when successfully graduating a drug and alcohol rehab facility.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse as a result of problems that their impairment impose on them. While detection of this problem can be difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL as well as other assistance services intended for them when substance abuse rehabilitation is necessary. Other than ASL, such services might include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired folks are getting the help they need in drug treatment.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug treatment facilities possess the staff or resources to focus on the demands of Spanish speaking clients, but thankfully there are more and more centers that will do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than previously. Therapy, study information and stuff like that are actually very often obtainable in Spanish in both short and long terms facilities which provide inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehab is available too around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals really have a much more leverage because they can select whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many people face. In addition, treatment centers will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present some other type of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehabilitation program that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug rehab programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in setting up the individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered 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 treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only within the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some kind of alcohol and drug treatment service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment centers. Individuals could have to participate in a drug rehab program that's in their network of providers and there might be other limitations such as the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a quality center they like and speak with a treatment counselor to find out if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some limitations about how long a stay in inpatient drug treatment is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before you start treatment so that it's clear how much time and individual can remain in the rehab program of preference.
