Drug Addiction Facts

  • Methadone stays in the system as long as 59 hours, but only provides pain relief for up to 8 hours. Patients may need more pain relief before the drug is cleared from the body, and therefore administer another dose too soon resulting in toxic levels of the drug in the system which can lead to life-threatening changes in breathing and heart function.
  • Stimulant drugs such as crack and meth, can lead to delusional parasitosis; a mistaken belief they an user is infested with parasites also known as "coke bugs". These delusions are also often associated with high fevers and users often scratch themselves to the point of serious skin damage and bleeding.
  • Many individuals report taking up heroin use as an alternative to prescription drugs because it is cheaper and easier to obtain than prescription opioids.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab solutions in terms of 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 receiving treatment services. While this might seem ideal it will not provide the required change of environment than many individuals in rehab need to have a successful rehab.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse due to challenges their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this issue can often be hard among the hearing impaired, there are ASL and also other assistance services readily available for them when drug abuse rehab is necessary. Apart from ASL, such services can include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired people are receiving the help they require in alcohol and drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but individuals really have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation centers will often offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present any other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may choose to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality treatment facility which will produce better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug and alcohol treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in establishing the individual's rehab strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might be eligible for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only in the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug and alcohol treatment service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab programs. Individuals could have to participate in a drug treatment facility that's inside their network of providers and there may be other limitations like the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select an excellent center they like and consult with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers in addition to partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some limitations as to just how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before you begin rehab so that it is clear just how long and individual can stay in the rehab center of preference.
