Drug Addiction Facts

  • The biggest reason to consider using an inpatient drug and alcohol rehab center or program is the higher success rate. Statistics show that people who spend more than 30 days at an inpatient program, almost double their rate of long-term success and they are also not nearly as likely to relapse.
  • When prescription stimulant pills are crushed and injected, insoluble fillers in the tablets can block small blood vessels and cause serious health complications.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment services with regards to level of care, as the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehab center while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even if this might appear perfect it might not provide the required change of atmosphere than many individuals in treatment require to have a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders are what are known in the field of drug and alcohol rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must address both disorders whilst in treatment to find resolution simply because one usually triggers the other. Luckily, there are numerous drug and alcohol rehab programs who can specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues face to be able to not merely become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not consider it wise to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Gays and Lesbians

It is essential that gays and lesbians obtain quality rehab services within a treatment environment that's discreet and with treatment specialists available to them who understand the distinctive problems they have to deal with in life. Because drug abuse for gays and lesbians is sometimes triggered by the problems they face due to their sexual preference, a facility that can help them handle these problems and give them the peace of mind that they've lacked prior to arriving in rehabilitation can be a crucial part of rehabilitation for gay and lesbian clients.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into rehabilitation due to a court ruling to satisfy a part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug rehab often receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when being cooperative with alcohol and drug treatment specifications enforced on them as part of sentencing especially of course when successfully graduating a drug rehabilitation facility.

Spanish

Not all drug rehab centers have the staff or wherewithal to focus on the requirements of Spanish speaking clientele, but luckily there are more and more programs that are able to do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than previously. Counselling, study data and stuff like that are actually frequently obtainable in Spanish in both short and long terms facilities which deliver inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but people in fact have a much more leverage due to the fact they can select whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. In addition, rehabilitation programs will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present some other kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality treatment program which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with establishing the person's treatment plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility provided by numerous alcohol and drug treatment centers in order to help individuals pay for rehab where this might not have been possible initially. For example, one client's fee for treatment may be different and somebody else whose finances are better making them better able to spend the money for full expense of rehabilitation. Registrars take into consideration additional factors aside from income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
