Drug Addiction Facts

  • An estimated 200million people worldwide have used marijuana at least once in the past year.
  • An overdose of prescription stimulants can be potentially fatal, and can include symptoms such as high or low blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, nausea, panic, rapid breathing, restlessness, vomiting, fatigue, hallucinations, abdominal cramps, aggressiveness, depression, convulsions, tremors or coma.
  • Inpatient rehab treatment programs last a minimum of twenty-eight days. Patients voluntarily enter a safe, secure center in which intensive drug/alcohol treatment programs are the foundation of the patient's daily activities.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of intensity of care, because the individual can preserve their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to remain in a rehabilitation program while undergoing treatment services. Even if this may seem ideal it may not provide the required change of atmosphere than many people in recovery need to experience a successful rehab.

Persons With HIV/AIDS

Persons with HIV/AIDS who may need substance abuse rehabilitation will frequently need services beyond what a traditional drug rehab center will be able to deliver. Due to the fact extensive healthcare solutions in many cases are a key aspect of the physical process of recovery for addicts with HIV/AIDS, who most likely have experienced a progression and worsening of the disease due to their habit, it is crucial that these clients have the medical treatment required along with any treatment services for their substance abuse problem.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse because of the challenges their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem can be hard among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and also other assistance services designed for them when substance abuse rehab is needed. Apart from ASL, such services might include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are receiving the support they require in alcohol and drug treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals in fact have a much more leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present any other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality treatment program that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug treatment programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in setting up the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab centers. Individuals could possibly have to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment program that is in their network of providers and there might be other limitations for example just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a good facility they prefer and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain substance abuse rehab services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities along with partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some restrictions as to the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it is clear just how long and individual can stay in the rehab facility of preference.
