Drug Addiction Facts

  • Chronic use of crack cocaine can exacerbate violent behavior among those with previously violent tendencies and it can also create aggressive behavior in some users who aren't prone to this behavior.
  • When someone smokes marijuana it artificially stimulates the areas of the brain which are key to certain mental and physical functions, disrupting normal function and causing overstimulation of these areas.
  • Studies show that by age 25-30, children of alcoholics have levels of drug use substantially higher than children of non-alcoholics.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions in terms of level of care, as the individual can keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to be in a treatment facility while receiving treatment services. While this might appear perfect it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many individuals in recovery require to have a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems are what are identified in the field of alcohol and drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must address both disorders while in treatment in order to find resolution simply because one usually exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are lots of drug rehab facilities who can specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face so that they can not simply become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Gays and Lesbians

It is essential that gays and lesbians receive excellent rehabilitation services in a treatment environment that's discreet and with rehab professionals at their disposal who comprehend the unique challenges that they can have to deal with in life. Because drug abuse for gays and lesbians is sometimes triggered by the challenges they face because of their sexual preference, a facility which can help them handle these issues and give them the confidence they may have lacked prior to arriving in treatment is usually a crucial aspect of treatment for gay and lesbian clients.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse due to the challenges that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem can be difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and other assistance services readily available for them when substance abuse treatment is necessary. Apart from ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are receiving the support they need in alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol treatment centers have the staff or wherewithal to focus on the demands of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately there are more and more facilities that can do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Counselling, study data and stuff like that are now very often accessible in Spanish in both short and long terms facilities which provide inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but people in fact have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can select whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehab facilities will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehab centers will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present any other kind of private health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may want to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation center that will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at alcohol and drug treatment facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in setting up the person's rehab strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered 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 rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some form of alcohol and drug treatment service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals may have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab program that's inside their network of providers and there may be other limitations such as the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select an excellent facility they prefer and meet with a rehabilitation specialist to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular substance abuse rehab services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some limitations as to how long a stay in inpatient drug treatment is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before beginning rehabilitation so that it's clear how long and individual can remain in the rehab program of preference.
