Drug Addiction Facts

  • Despite the popular belief otherwise, studies indicate that prescription stimulants do not enhance learning or thinking ability when abused.
  • Ritalin is actually more potent than cocaine in its effect on the areas of the brain which produce dopamine, the "reward" chemical that the brain produces.
  • One of the more serious psychological side effects of stimulant drugs, particularly when abused, is the possibility of amphetamine induced psychosis. This type of psychosis can also occur at therapeutic doses as a result of long-term use of the drug. Individuals who experience this type of psychosis will exhibit paranoia, hallucinations and delusions. It is estimated that anywhere from 5 to 15% of users fail to recover completely.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab solutions in terms of intensity of care, as the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to stay in a rehabilitation program while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even though this might appear perfect it might not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than lots of people in rehab require to have a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders are what are recognized in the field of drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must deal with both disorders during rehabilitation in order to find resolution simply because one usually triggers the other. Luckily, there are several drug rehabilitation centers who are able to specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face so that they can not just become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not want to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers accept Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present any other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehab program which will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug treatment center.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many alcohol and drug treatment centers offer payment assistance to help clients who might possibly not have adequate money to self pay for rehab or whose medical insurance won't provide coverage or total coverage for their stay. By way of example, Occasionally insurance only pays for a short-term center when in actuality a long-term facility will be the more appropriate selection. To see what payment assistance may be available, such as a sliding fee scale, seek advice from the program for details.
