Drug Addiction Facts

  • Between April 2005 to March 2007 fentanyl overdoses resulted in roughly 1,000 deaths nationwide, including 86 in New Jersey, according to a report by the CDC.
  • In a 2009 report, the Government Accountability Office stated that a lack of knowledge about the "unique pharmacological properties" of methadone among prescribing physicians and patients has contributed to methadone overdoses.
  • Although inpatient treatment can take place in a hospital setting, for the most part a residential setting is typical, offering 24-hour care and surveillance. The most common form of treatment is a therapeutic community, involving the other patients and staff, focusing on helping the person understand the sources and conditions that lead to substance abuse.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use because of the challenges that their impairment impose on them.

Besides ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are obtaining the support they need in drug and alcohol rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage simply because they can decide on whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many men and women face. In addition, treatment programs will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present some other type of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality treatment program which will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the individual's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only within the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some sort of alcohol and drug rehab service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment programs. Individuals may have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab program that's inside their network of providers and there could be other limitations including just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent center they prefer and consult with a rehab counselor to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain substance abuse rehab services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers and also partial hospitalization are covered 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 limitations as to how much time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehab is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before you start rehabilitation so that it is clear how long and individual can remain in the treatment facility of preference.
