Drug Addiction Facts

  • The long-term effects of using cocaine can include extreme agitation, violent mood swings and depression.
  • A codeine overdose can result in respiratory depression which in extreme cases can result in death.
  • When codeine enters the brain, the brain responds by activating its "reward system", producing an excessive release of pleasure hormones and stimulation of this reward system.

100% Confidential.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services with regards to level of care, since the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to be in a treatment facility while undergoing rehab services. While this may appear perfect it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than a lot of people in rehabilitation have to have to have a productive rehabilitation.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into rehabilitation as part of a court order to fulfill part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation frequently receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when cooperating with drug treatment specifications enforced with them as part of sentencing specifically naturally when successfully completing a drug treatment program.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers have the staff or resources to cater to the demands of Spanish speaking clientele, but thankfully there are more and more centers that can do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Therapy, study data and so on are now frequently available in Spanish in both short and long terms centers which deliver inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is available too around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, treatment facilities will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present any other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may want to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehab center which will get better results, like a long-term residential drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at alcohol and drug rehab facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only inside the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some form of alcohol and drug treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment programs. Individuals could possibly have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility that is in their network of providers and there could be other limitations such as the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a quality center they like and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular drug abuse rehab solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers and also partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some limitations concerning just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehab is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before beginning rehabilitation so that it's clear the length of time and individual can stay in the rehab program of choice.
