Drug Addiction Facts

  • The use of sedatives used to treat anxiety, insomnia, and seizures and methadone can be a deadly combination, although physicians may prescribe such drugs in combination and therefore put patients at risk.
  • Severe allergic reactions have been known to occur through both legitimate and illicit use of codeine, and this can result in rashes, swelling, respiratory difficulty and, in extreme cases, death.
  • A recent article written in the New York Times points out that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates that the ADHD diagnosis has been made in 15 percent of high school-age children, and that the number of children on prescription drugs such as Ritalin and Adderall has risen significantly to an astounding 3.5 million currently from 600,000 in 1990.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a number of settings and with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to suit the various demands 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's no need to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services in terms of intensity of care, as the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to remain in a rehab program while receiving treatment services. Although this might appear perfect it may not provide the much needed change of environment than lots of people in recovery need to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Adolescents

When adolescents become involved in any kind of drug use, it is crucial that they obtain top quality care to halt the problem in its tracks so that it doesn't worsen and perhaps jeopardize their future. Because adolescent drug abuse which persists often carries on into adulthood, mothers and fathers must continue to be vigilant and get their adolescent treatment as soon as a problem is observed in a program which handles adolescent drug abuse. Several facilities which treat adolescents supply both inpatient and residential rehabilitation, that has been shown to be the most beneficial environments for rehabilitation clients of this age.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use because of the challenges that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this problem can often be hard among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL along with other assistance services available for them when drug abuse rehab is necessary. Besides ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are obtaining the support they require in drug treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but people actually have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. In addition, rehab facilities will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation facilities will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present any other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehab facility which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in establishing the person's rehab plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Part B.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option offered by numerous drug and alcohol treatment centers in order to help individuals pay for rehab where this might not have been doable initially. For instance, one client's price for treatment might be different and less than someone else whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to pay for the full cost of rehab. Registrars take into account additional factors aside from income including amount of dependents to determine the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
