Drug Addiction Facts

  • Inpatient drug/alcohol treatment requires the patient to live at the treatment facility. Patients usually live with other recovering addicts and have the opportunity to assist daily therapy sessions and support groups.
  • The number of poisoning deaths involving methadone increased from 790 in 1999 to 5,420 in 2005.
  • In a 2009 report, the Government Accountability Office stated that a lack of knowledge about the "unique pharmacological properties" of methadone among prescribing physicians and patients has contributed to methadone overdoses.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a variety of settings and with different rehab lengths and plans to accommodate the varying needs of clients with any type of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being covered by many insurance plans, you shouldn't have to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services regarding intensity of care, since the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehabilitation facility while receiving rehabilitation services. Even though this may seem ideal it will not provide the much needed change of environment than many individuals in rehab have to have to experience a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals really have a much more leverage because they can select whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many men and women face. In addition, rehab centers will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at alcohol and drug treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with setting up the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some type of drug and alcohol treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehab centers. Individuals might have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab center that is in their network of providers and there can be other limitations like the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent center they like and consult with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular drug abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some restrictions concerning the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before you start rehabilitation so that it's clear how much time and individual can stay in the rehabilitation program of choice.
