Drug Addiction Facts

  • Former and current heroin users describe the horrors of heroin addiction withdrawal as being far less painful and difficult than methadone withdrawal.
  • It is recommended that anyone who is struggling with addiction to codeine take part in a drug rehab program of at least a 90 day duration which addresses opiate addiction to ensure that they remain off of the drug for good.
  • Studies indicate that cocaine may have a direct effect on blood vessels in the brain, causing them to go into spasm and narrow, resulting in a decrease of blood to the brain, and may even cause inflammation in the blood vessels of the brain and cause stroke.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in several settings along with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to suit the various needs of clients with any kind of and degree of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being paid by many insurance plans, you don't have to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anybody who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab solutions with regards to level of care, as the individual can keep their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehab facility while receiving treatment services. Even if this might appear ideal it may not provide the required change of atmosphere than a lot of people in rehab need to have a successful rehab.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use as a result of problems their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem can often be hard among the hearing impaired, there are ASL as well as other assistance services intended for them when substance abuse treatment is required. Apart from ASL, such services may include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are getting the help they require in drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals really have a much more leverage simply because they can decide on whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women face. Likewise, treatment programs will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities accept Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present another kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehab center that will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab program.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only in the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some form of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug rehabilitation center that's in their network of providers and there might be other restrictions including the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a quality program they prefer and meet with a rehab specialist to find out if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There could be some restrictions concerning how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before you start rehabilitation so that it's clear how long and individual can stay in the treatment facility of choice.
