Drug Addiction Facts

  • Methadone is also used to detoxify heroin addicts, not just as a "maintenance option", although studies show that most heroin addicts who detox using Methadone or any other method will eventually return to heroin use.
  • Like any intravenous drug users, heroin users who inject the drug risk exposing themselves to the immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B and C, and other serious types of blood-borne viruses.
  • The specific cardiovascular problems which may be caused by prescription stimulants have been highlighted in the FDA's "black box" warnings which include the risk of heart defects, heart attacks, stroke, high blood pressure, increased heart rate, and sudden death in people with a prior history of heart related problems.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services regarding level of care, since the individual can keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehab program while receiving treatment services. Although this may seem perfect it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many people in recovery require to have a productive rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse problems are what are identified in the field of drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must handle both disorders during treatment in order to find resolution due to the fact one often triggers the other. Luckily, there are several alcohol and drug treatment facilities that can specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders face to be able to not merely become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never want to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Spanish

Not all drug treatment facilities have the staff or wherewithal to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clientele, but fortunately there are more and more centers that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Therapy, study data and so on are now very often available in Spanish in both short and long terms centers which provide inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is available too nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, rehabilitation programs will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present any other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals might want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality treatment facility that will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some sort of alcohol and drug treatment service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug treatment programs. Individuals could possibly have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab facility that is in their network of providers and there might be other restrictions like the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a good program they prefer and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular substance abuse treatment solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers in addition to partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some limitations concerning how much time a stay in inpatient drug treatment is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered before you begin rehab so that it's clear the length of time and individual can stay in the rehabilitation center of preference.
