Drug Addiction Facts

  • In February 2014, Rhode Island's health department reported an increase in accidental overdose deaths associated with the use of fentanyl. There were 27 overdose deaths in the state in January, 18 in January 2013 and 15 each in January 2012 and 2011. Two additional fatal overdoses have been reported so far this month.
  • Fentanyl patches are often abused by removing the gel within the patch and injecting or ingesting it.
  • Using marijuana puts children and teens in contact with people who are users and sellers of other drugs, posing more of a risk that a marijuana user will be exposed to and urged to try more drugs.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment services with regards to intensity of care, as the individual can maintain their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to stay in a rehabilitation program while undergoing rehabilitation services. While this might seem perfect it will not provide the required change of atmosphere than many individuals in recovery require to experience a productive rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug use issues are what are known in the field of drug and alcohol rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must tackle both disorders when it's in treatment in order to find resolution because one typically exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are many drug treatment programs who can specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders face to be able to not simply become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never consider it wise to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities possess the staff or resources to focus on the needs of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately there are more and more programs that can do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Therapy, study info and the like are now very often obtainable in Spanish in both short and long terms facilities which provide inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals really have a much more leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many people face. In addition, treatment facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present another form of private health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals might want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to pay for a more quality treatment program that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug and alcohol treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the individual's treatment plan. 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 rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some type of drug rehab service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab centers. Individuals may have to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment facility which is within their network of providers and there might be other limitations such as how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a quality facility they like and meet with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance covers it.
