Drug Addiction Facts

  • Cocaine abusers are at increased risk for contracting infectious diseases such as human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) and viral hepatitis, not only from sharing contaminated needles and drug paraphernalia but also from engaging in risky behaviors as a result of intoxication.
  • In King County, Washington, there were 84 heroin related deaths in 2012, up from 49 in 2009, with all of the increase among those under 30.
  • Heroin purchased at street level is very rarely pure, and the average bag of heroin sometimes has less than 5% of pure heroin.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment solutions with regards to intensity of care, as the individual can keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to be in a rehab center while undergoing treatment services. Even though this might appear ideal it might not provide the much needed change of surroundings than a lot of people in treatment need to have a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but people in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can select whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehab facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present another form of private health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may choose to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality treatment program that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug rehab centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in establishing the person's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab 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 and alcohol treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only in the state which offers the insurance plan.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some restrictions regarding how long a stay in inpatient drug rehab is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before beginning treatment so that it is clear just how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation center of choice.
