Drug Addiction Facts

  • Children of alcoholics are at higher risk for disruptive behavioral problems and are more likely than children whose parents are not alcoholics to be sensation seeking, aggressive, and impulsive.
  • Some studies indicate that cocaine users who do not inject the drug are contracting HIV at rates equal to those who do inject it, further highlighting the role of sexual transmission of HIV in this population.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are available to anyone that must be safely managed through detox services when seriously addicted to alcohol and drugs, or who wants a broader spectrum of care such as someone who has a dual diagnosis so also requires mental health services during their rehabilitation process. You can find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services accessible.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse due to the challenges that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the issue can often be hard among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL and also other assistance services intended for them when substance abuse treatment is needed. Besides ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are obtaining the help they require in drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but people really have a great deal of leverage because they can choose whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehab programs will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present another kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality treatment program which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at alcohol and drug rehab facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in establishing the individual's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other kind 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 may be used to cover the costs of drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only within the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some type of drug rehabilitation service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment facilities. Individuals could have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility which is in their network of providers and there may be other limitations like just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a good program they like and speak with a rehabilitation specialist to find out if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular substance abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some restrictions regarding how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered prior to starting treatment so that it is clear just how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation program of choice.
