Drug Addiction Facts

  • The desire for more diversified marijuana products with varying THC concentrations and even flavors has spurred a new market of synthetic marijuana products known as "spice".
  • Marijuana can affect judgment and decision making, which can lead to risky sexual behavior resulting in exposure to sexually transmitted diseases like HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
  • Medications called opiate receptor antagonists block the effects of opiate drugs, such as Naloxone for one, and overdoses of fentanyl should be treated immediately with an opiate antagonist.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment services regarding level of care, for the reason that individual can preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to remain in a rehab facility while receiving treatment services. Although this may seem ideal it may not provide the required change of atmosphere than many people in treatment require to experience a successful rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and drug abuse because of the challenges their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this issue can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL and other assistance services readily available for them when substance abuse rehab is needed. Apart from ASL, such services can include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are receiving the support they require in drug rehab.

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 drawback but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many individuals face. In addition, rehab programs will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present another kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehab program which will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug treatment programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in establishing the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't an option. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only in the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug rehabilitation service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehab programs. Individuals might have to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment facility that is within their network of providers and there could be other limitations including the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a quality facility they like and speak with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance will cover it.
