Drug Addiction Facts

  • Meth use may lead to irreparable brain damage, because the drug destroys natural dopamine production sites in the brain.
  • Marijuana's effects on the user depend on the strength and amount of THC it contains, and the THC content of marijuana has been increasing since the 1970s.
  • Ritalin has also been reported to have the potential to cause severe heart problems, and statistics indicate that stimulant drugs are responsible for the thousands of people in the United States that are seen in emergency rooms each year with a series of heart related problems.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a number of settings along with different rehab lengths and plans to suit the various demands of clients with any kind of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being included in many insurance plans, you shouldn't have to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment services regarding intensity of care, because the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehabilitation center while receiving rehab services. Even if this might seem ideal it may not provide the required change of environment than lots of people in treatment need to have a successful rehabilitation.

Residential Short-Term Treatment (30 Days Or Less)

Residential short-term rehab for 30 days or less is a possibility which allows men and women in treatment to have the much needed change of environment needed to have a chance at remaining sober. Residential treatment is the premiere option because individuals can feel comfortable and at home while receiving services. Residential short-term rehab for 30 days or less may not be prolonged enough for particular people with more serious addiction and dependency concerns, and this should at all times be evaluated at the end of the 30 days to establish if more extensive rehab is necessary.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders are often given the possibility or ordered to rehab as a term of their sentencing. In many cases, the offender can pick which rehabilitation program they wish to go to. Upon successful completion, DUI and DWI offenders benefit from decreased sentencing options so that they can progress in their lives without having to be penalized any more.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but people in fact have a great deal of leverage because they can choose whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many people encounter. Likewise, treatment programs will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities will take Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present another type of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality treatment facility that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehab program.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could qualify for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only inside the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug and alcohol rehab service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab centers. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab program that's inside their network of providers and there can be other limitations such as the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a good facility they like and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance will take care of it.
