Drug Addiction Facts

  • Animal studies indicate that animals will work more persistently at pressing a bar for cocaine than for any other drug, including opiates. In one example, one monkey test subject pressed the bar 12,800 times until it got a single dose of cocaine. If the animal survives in such studies, it will return to the task of obtaining more cocaine.
  • There is concern among pediatricians that using prescription stimulants on children may affect their development, and it is still unknown how these drugs biologically affect the developing brain.
  • Fentanyl oral lozenges and injectables are also commonly diverted and abused.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in several settings along with various rehab lengths and plans to accommodate the varying needs of clients with any sort of and level of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential centers now being included in many insurance plans, there is no need to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services in terms of intensity of care, because the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to remain in a rehabilitation center while receiving rehabilitation services. Even if this may seem perfect it will not provide the much needed change of environment than a lot of people in treatment have to have to have a successful rehabilitation.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders are often given the option or ordered to rehab as a term of their sentencing. In many cases, the offender can choose which rehabilitation center they wish to attend. Upon successful completion, DUI and DWI offenders can take advantage of decreased sentencing options to be able to move ahead in their lives without getting penalized any further.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, rehab centers will often provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present some other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals might want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality treatment program that will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at alcohol and drug treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in setting up the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare 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 treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. If someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only within the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug rehab service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug rehabilitation program that's inside their network of providers and there could be other restrictions such as how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent program they like and consult with a rehab specialist to find out if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular substance abuse rehab solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs in addition to partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some limitations concerning how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it is clear the length of time and individual can remain in the rehab center of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option offered by a variety of drug rehab centers to help help individuals pay for rehab where this might not have been possible originally. For instance, one client's price for treatment may be different and lower than another person whose finances are better which makes them better able to spend the money for full cost of rehab. Registrars consider variables in addition to income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost and using the sliding scale.
