Drug Addiction Facts

  • Animal studies indicate that animals will work more persistently at pressing a bar for cocaine than for any other drug, including opiates. In one example, one monkey test subject pressed the bar 12,800 times until it got a single dose of cocaine. If the animal survives in such studies, it will return to the task of obtaining more cocaine.
  • There is concern among pediatricians that using prescription stimulants on children may affect their development, and it is still unknown how these drugs biologically affect the developing brain.
  • Fentanyl oral lozenges and injectables are also commonly diverted and abused.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anybody that should be safely managed through detoxification services when heavily addicted to drugs and alcohol, or who wants a broader spectrum of care such as someone who is dealing with a dual diagnosis so also needs mental health services as part of their rehabilitation process. You'll find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services available.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services in terms of intensity of care, because the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to remain in a rehabilitation center while receiving rehabilitation services. Even if this may seem perfect it will not provide the much needed change of environment than a lot of people in treatment have to have to have a successful rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and substance abuse due to the challenges that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this issue can often be hard among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL and also other assistance services intended for them when substance abuse treatment is needed. Other than ASL, such services may include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are receiving the support they require in alcohol and drug rehab.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehab centers possess the staff or wherewithal to focus on the requirements of Spanish speaking clients, but luckily there are more and more facilities that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Counselling, study information and the like are actually very often obtainable in Spanish in both short and long terms programs which provide inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish treatment is also available nationwide.

Self Payment

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

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present any other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to cover a more quality treatment facility which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in setting up the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation 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 costs of drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only inside the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some form of drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment programs. Individuals might have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility that's in their network of providers and there might be other restrictions for example the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a quality center they prefer and consult with a treatment counselor to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular drug abuse treatment services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities as well as partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some limitations as to how much time a stay in inpatient drug rehab is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before you start rehab so that it's clear how much time and individual can stay in the rehabilitation facility of preference.
