Drug Addiction Facts

  • Studies indicate that the brains of Ecstasy users who experience serotonin depletion take a significant amount of time to restore the level of serotonin needed to perform important physiological and psychological functions.
  • Patients who require detox services due to concerns about withdrawal also benefit from inpatient programs, as detox services can be included as a part of inpatient treatment programs. After detox (if needed), patients undergo an intensive, daily drug/alcohol treatment regimen to learn about the addiction in a supportive, immersive environment.
  • 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.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services with regards to level of care, for the reason that individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehabilitation program while undergoing rehab services. Even if this might seem perfect it might not provide the much needed change of environment than a lot of people in rehab need to have a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders are what are known in the field of drug and alcohol rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must handle both disorders while in rehab in order to find resolution simply because one often exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are lots of alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers who can specifically hone in on the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders face in order to not only become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never consider it wise to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Gays and Lesbians

It is crucial that gays and lesbians obtain quality rehabilitation services in a treatment setting which is discreet and has rehab professionals at their disposal who understand the unique challenges which they have to deal with in life. Because drug use for gays and lesbians may also be triggered by the challenges they face due to their sexual preference, a program which will help them resolve these issues and give them the peace of mind they may have lacked prior to arriving in treatment can be quite a crucial part of rehabilitation 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 challenges their impairment impose on them. While detection of the issue can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, there are ASL and also other assistance services intended for them when drug abuse treatment is needed. Besides ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired people are getting the support they need in drug rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol treatment programs possess the staff or resources to focus on the requirements of Spanish speaking clients, but thankfully there are more and more programs that are able to do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than previously. Counselling, study information and stuff like that are actually frequently accessible in Spanish in both short and long terms centers which deliver inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is available too around the country.

Other Languages

In every single city in America there's someone fighting drug abuse that isn't necessarily fluent in English, who might need rehab in whichever language it is they are fluent in so that their needs may be catered to properly when in rehabilitation. Fortunately, there are many alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities who have counselors on staff who speak other languages to make drug and alcohol rehabilitation the best experience possible for anyone. Simply locate a top quality alcohol and drug rehab program and find out if it is possible to receive rehab in other languages.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. In addition, rehabilitation centers will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab facilities will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present some other form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehab facility that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at alcohol and drug treatment centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in establishing the individual's treatment plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office within their area to ascertain 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 provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some type of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment centers. Individuals might have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program which is inside their network of providers and there could be other restrictions such as just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a good facility they like and consult with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option offered by a number of drug and alcohol rehab facilities in an effort to help clients afford rehab where this may not have been possible originally. As an example, one client's price for treatment could be different and less than someone else whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to pay for the full cost of rehab. Registrars take into account variables aside from income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug rehab programs provide payment assistance to help individuals who might possibly not have adequate funds to self pay for rehab or whose health insurance won't provide coverage or full coverage for his or her stay. As an example, Sometimes insurance only covers a short-term program when in actuality a long-term program will be the more suitable selection. To see what payment assistance can be offered, say for example a sliding fee scale, check with the facility for details.
