Drug Addiction Facts

  • Inpatient substance treatment facilities offer a safe environment, where patients will not be exposed to potentially dangerous situations during their treatments as they would be on the outside.
  • As with other opiate narcotics, methadone creates a feeling of well-being and binds to the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other drugs.
  • Crystal meth is a more potent version of meth, and typically resembles small fragments of shiny white pebbles or rocks which can be smoked using glass pipes that are very similar to the pipes that are used to smoke crack cocaine.

100% Confidential.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab solutions regarding intensity of care, since the individual can preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a treatment center while undergoing rehab services. Although this may appear perfect it may not provide the required change of environment than many people in treatment require to have a productive rehab.

Gays and Lesbians

It is crucial that gays and lesbians obtain quality treatment services within a rehab setting which can be discreet and has rehabilitation specialists at their disposal who comprehend the unique problems that they can have to deal with in life. Because drug use for gays and lesbians is oftentimes triggered by the challenges they face due to their sexual preference, a program which will help them handle these problems and give them the confidence that they've lacked before arriving in rehab can be a crucial aspect of rehabilitation for gay and lesbian clients.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and drug abuse due to challenges their impairment impose on them. While detection of this problem is often hard among the hearing impaired, there are ASL along with other assistance services readily available for them when drug abuse treatment is required. Aside from ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are receiving the help they need in drug and alcohol treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals in fact have a much more leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities will take Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present some other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehabilitation program which will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug and alcohol treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in establishing the individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation 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 treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only inside the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some type of drug treatment service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers. Individuals might have to participate in a drug rehabilitation center that is inside their network of providers and there might be other restrictions like the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a quality program they like and consult with a rehabilitation specialist to ascertain if their insurance covers it.
