Drug Addiction Facts

  • Due to the number of deaths and overdoses resulting from fentanyl transdermal patches, the Food and Drug Administration issued safety warnings in 2005 highlighting the importance of strict adherence to the guidelines for the proper use of any and all fentanyl products.
  • Fentanyl is an extremely dangerous substitute for heroin because it is much more potent than heroin, which often results in accidental overdoses and death as a result of respiratory depression.
  • Because codeine can be so easily obtained it makes abuse of it a widespread problem for law and drug enforcement agencies and health professionals.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are available to anybody who needs to be safely managed through detox services when intensely addicted to alcohol and drugs, or who needs a broader spectrum of care such as someone who is dealing with a dual diagnosis and also needs mental health services during their treatment procedure. You can find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services available.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services regarding level of care, since the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to be in a treatment center while undergoing treatment services. Even if this may seem perfect it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many people in recovery have to have to have a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders are what are identified in the field of drug and alcohol rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must tackle both disorders while in treatment in order to find resolution because one usually triggers the other. Luckily, there are lots of drug treatment centers who can specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face so that they can not only become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not feel the need to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse due to challenges their impairment impose on them. While detection of this problem can be difficult among the hearing impaired, there are ASL as well as other assistance services designed for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is needed. Aside from ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired folks are obtaining the help they need in drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but people in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many people face. In addition, treatment programs will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs will take Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present another kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals might want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality treatment facility that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at alcohol and drug rehab programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in setting up the individual's rehab strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some sort of alcohol and drug treatment service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals may have to participate in a drug rehab center that is within their network of providers and there may be other limitations like the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select a quality facility they like and meet with a treatment specialist to find out if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities and also partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some limitations as to how much time a stay in inpatient drug treatment is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before beginning rehab so that it's clear just how long and individual can stay in the treatment facility of preference.
