  • Many individuals report taking up heroin use as an alternative to prescription drugs because it is cheaper and easier to obtain than prescription opioids.
  • Some studies indicate that cocaine users who do not inject the drug are contracting HIV at rates equal to those who do inject it, further highlighting the role of sexual transmission of HIV in this population.
  • Studies indicate that adolescent marijuana use and early use of other illicit drugs make an individual more likely to continue using marijuana in their mid-30s or beyond.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues are what are identified in the field of drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must address both disorders whilst in treatment to find resolution due to the fact one typically triggers the other. Luckily, there are many drug rehab programs who are able to specifically hone in on the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues face in order to not only become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use due to the challenges that their impairment impose on them. While detection of this problem can be hard among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL along with other assistance services available for them when drug abuse rehab is required. Aside from ASL, such services can include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired people are receiving the help they need in alcohol and drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but people in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can decide on whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women face. In addition, treatment facilities will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs will take Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present some other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehab center which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in establishing the person's rehab plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some form of drug rehab service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment programs. Individuals could have to participate in a drug treatment center which is in their network of providers and there could be other limitations including the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a good program they prefer and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance will cover it.
