Drug Addiction Facts

  • As part of a methadone maintenance program an individual only needs to take it once a day.
  • When codeine enters the brain, the brain responds by activating its "reward system", producing an excessive release of pleasure hormones and stimulation of this reward system.
  • After the initial euphoric feeling experienced from heroin use, users will alternate between both a wakeful and a drowsy state, sometimes called "nodding out" among users.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions regarding level of care, because the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to remain in a rehab program while undergoing treatment services. Although this might seem perfect it might not provide the much needed change of surroundings than a lot of people in treatment have to have to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues are what are known in the field of drug and alcohol rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must handle both disorders during rehabilitation to find resolution simply because one typically exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are lots of drug and alcohol rehab centers that can specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues face to enable them to not only become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but people in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many individuals face. Likewise, treatment facilities will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present any other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation facility which will produce better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at alcohol and drug treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only within the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug and alcohol rehab service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab facilities. Individuals may have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment center which is within their network of providers and there could be other limitations for example the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a good facility they like and meet with a rehab counselor to determine 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 rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some restrictions regarding how much time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before you begin treatment so that it's clear just how long and individual can stay in the rehab center of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option made available from a variety of drug and alcohol rehab programs in an effort to help individuals pay for rehab where this might not have been possible initially. As an example, one client's fee for rehab could possibly be different and lower than someone else whose finances are better which makes them better able to pay the full expense of rehab. Registrars take into consideration additional circumstances apart from income including number of dependents to determine the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many alcohol and drug rehab centers provide payment assistance to help individuals who might not have sufficient money to self pay for rehabilitation or whose health insurance won't supply coverage or total coverage for his or her stay. For example, Sometimes insurance only pays for a short-term program when in reality a long-term facility will probably be the more ideal choice. To find out what payment assistance could be offered, for instance a sliding fee scale, talk with the center for particulars.
