Drug Addiction Facts

  • Older adults who drink have an increased sensitivity to alcohol due to the fact that aging can lower the body's tolerance for alcohol, and therefore experience the effects of alcohol more readily than when they were younger.
  • Serious side effects as a result of methamphetamine use which could be life threatening can include convulsions, dangerously high body temperature, stroke, cardiac arrhythmia, stomach cramps and shaking.
  • The first few days and weeks of recovery are the hardest at an inpatient rehab, which is why longer inpatient programs tend to be more successful.

Seniors/Older Adults

Seniors and older adults who have trouble with drug abuse could possibly have distinctive challenges they have to overcome during rehabilitation, which treatment professionals within the program they opt to take part in must be keen of in order that a full recovery is possible. So for seniors and older adults, it is advisable to select a rehab that is used to helping seniors and older adults deal with the unique life and drug abuse problems that these clients face which may include a wider spectrum of solutions including health care and so on.

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 part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but individuals in fact have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many people face. Likewise, rehabilitation centers will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation facilities will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present some other type of private health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to cover a more quality treatment center that will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment center.

Medicare

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

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only within the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug rehab service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment facilities. Individuals might have to participate in a drug rehab facility that's inside their network of providers and there may be other limitations such as how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select an excellent facility they like and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain substance abuse rehab services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs and also partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some restrictions regarding how much time a stay in inpatient drug treatment is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before beginning rehab so that it's clear just how long and individual can remain in the rehab facility of preference.
