Drug Addiction Facts

  • Individuals taking part in methadone maintenance programs who intend to get high from their methadone dose will abstain from taking a dose or two, and then take an extremely large dose all at once to get a much stronger high from the drug.
  • Inpatient drug/alcohol treatment does not include detox as that usually occurs in a hospital environment, but follows it.
  • The risk for stroke associated with cocaine use is much higher than with other stroke risk factors, such as diabetes, high blood pressure or smoking due to the fact that cocaine use can result in the constriction of blood vessels, increased heart rate, body temperature and blood pressure, and decreased oxygen supply to the brain.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anybody that should be safely managed through detox services when seriously addicted to drugs and alcohol, or who needs a broader spectrum of care such as somebody who is dealing with a dual diagnosis and also requires mental health solutions during their rehab process. There are both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services offered.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse due to problems that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this issue can often be hard among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL and also other assistance services available for them when substance abuse rehabilitation is needed. Apart from ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are obtaining the support they need in drug and alcohol treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many people face. Likewise, rehabilitation centers will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some treatment programs will take Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present another kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation program that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in establishing the individual's rehab strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like 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 and alcohol rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might be eligible for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only within the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug and alcohol treatment service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals could have to participate in a drug treatment center that's in their network of providers and there might be other limitations such as the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select an excellent facility they prefer and meet with a rehabilitation specialist 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 price of certain substance abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities as well as 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 might be some restrictions about just how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehab so that it's clear how long and individual can remain in the rehab program of preference.
