Drug Addiction Facts

  • In 2008 it was estimated that there were 1.9 million past-month cocaine users in the U.S., of which approximately 359,000 were current crack users.
  • Studies indicate that cocaine may have a direct effect on blood vessels in the brain, causing them to go into spasm and narrow, resulting in a decrease of blood to the brain, and may even cause inflammation in the blood vessels of the brain and cause stroke.
  • Medications called opiate receptor antagonists block the effects of opiate drugs, such as Naloxone for one, and overdoses of fentanyl should be treated immediately with an opiate antagonist.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab services in terms of level of care, for the reason that individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to remain in a treatment facility while undergoing rehabilitation services. Although this might seem perfect it will not provide the required change of environment than many individuals in rehabilitation have to have to experience a productive rehab.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use due to challenges that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this issue is often hard among the hearing impaired, there are ASL along with other assistance services intended for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is required. Aside from ASL, such services can include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are obtaining the help they need in drug and alcohol treatment.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities possess the staff or resources to cater to the needs of Spanish speaking clients, but luckily there are more and more centers that are able to do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Therapy, study data and the like are actually frequently accessible in Spanish in both long and short terms centers which deliver inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish treatment is also available nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but people in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehab programs will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present another kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation center which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug rehabilitation centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when 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 covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some kind of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab facilities. Individuals could have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab program that's in their network of providers and there may be other limitations such as the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a good center they like and speak with a rehab specialist to find out if their insurance will cover it.
