Drug Addiction Facts

  • Most major metropolitan areas have inpatient drug rehabilitation centers within a short distance, though few are within the urban limits.
  • Like heroin and other opiates, if an user has developed a physical dependence to methadone and they stop taking it or decrease their dose they begin to experience methadone withdrawal. This happens after very short term use.
  • Alcohol can damage the cells lining the stomach and intestines, blocking the absorption and breakdown of nutrients in those organs.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab solutions regarding level of care, since the individual can keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to be in a treatment facility while receiving rehabilitation services. Even though this might appear perfect it will not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than lots of people in treatment require to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders are what are identified in the field of alcohol and drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must tackle both disorders whilst in treatment in order to find resolution due to the fact one usually triggers the other. Luckily, there are many alcohol and drug rehab facilities that can specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues face so that they can not just become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never feel the need to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and substance abuse because of the problems their impairment impose on them. While detection of the issue can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, there are ASL and also other assistance services designed for them when drug abuse treatment is needed. Besides ASL, such services can include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are obtaining the help they require in drug and alcohol rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals really have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women face. Likewise, treatment centers will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present another kind of private health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality treatment center that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in establishing the individual's rehab strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only in the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some type of drug treatment service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals could have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center which is within their network of providers and there may be other limitations including just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select an excellent program they prefer and consult with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain drug abuse rehab services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers in addition to partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some restrictions concerning how much time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before you begin rehab so that it's clear just how long and individual can remain in the rehab facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility offered by numerous drug treatment programs in an effort to help individuals pay for treatment where this might not have been doable originally. As an example, one client's fee for rehab could be different and someone else whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to spend the money for full price of treatment. Registrars consider additional factors apart from income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
