Drug Addiction Facts

  • There are two chemical forms of cocaine, cocaine hydrochloride salt and the "freebase" form of the drug.
  • The disadvantage of an inpatient rehab program is, obviously that clients have to live at the center rather than at home. Although this can be helpful in terms of getting support, patients usually need to take a leave of absence from their jobs and will only see their families on designated visiting days while they are in rehab.
  • Ecstasy is usually used as a capsule or tablet however the term Molly refers to the pure crystalline powder form of the drug usually sold in capsules.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment services in terms of level of care, since the individual can preserve their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of needing to remain in a rehab program while undergoing rehab services. While this may seem ideal it will not provide the much needed change of environment than lots of people in rehabilitation require to experience a productive rehabilitation.

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 drug and alcohol rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must handle both disorders while in rehab in order to find resolution due to the fact one typically triggers the other. Fortunately, there are lots of drug and alcohol treatment facilities who are able to specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face in order to not just become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not wish to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but people in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can select whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people face. In addition, rehab programs will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment centers accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present some other kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may choose to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehab center which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with establishing the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other type 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 expense of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may 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 handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only within the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some type of drug treatment service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment facilities. Individuals could have to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment center that is inside their network of providers and there could be other restrictions including just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a good facility they prefer and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain substance abuse treatment solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some restrictions about how much time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehab so that it's clear how much time and individual can stay in the rehabilitation program of choice.
