Drug Addiction Facts

  • The exact toxic dose or the amount of cocaine that will cause death or a significant medical consequence is unknown.
  • Patients who require detox services due to concerns about withdrawal also benefit from inpatient programs, as detox services can be included as a part of inpatient treatment programs. After detox (if needed), patients undergo an intensive, daily drug/alcohol treatment regimen to learn about the addiction in a supportive, immersive environment.
  • Poisoning with ammonia from protracted use of poorly manufactured "freebase" is one of the many potentially serious health risks of using crack cocaine.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in several settings with various treatment lengths and plans to suit the various needs of clients with any type of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being paid by many insurance plans, you shouldn't have to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services with regards to intensity of care, as the individual can keep their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to stay in a rehabilitation center while undergoing rehabilitation services. While this might appear ideal it might not provide the required change of surroundings than many people in rehabilitation need to have a productive rehab.

Adolescents

When adolescents become involved in any sort of drug use, it is important that they obtain high quality care to stop the problem in its tracks so that it doesn't get any worse and possibly put their future in jeopardy. Because adolescent substance abuse which continues often carries on into one's adult life, parents must stay astute and get their adolescent rehabilitation the moment an issue is observed in a program which addresses adolescent substance abuse. Many programs which deal with adolescents offer both inpatient and residential treatment, which has been shown to be the most effective environments for rehabilitation clients of this age.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders in many cases are given the possibility or ordered to rehabilitation as part of sentencing. In many cases, the offender can select which treatment facility they wish to attend. Upon successful completion, DUI and DWI offenders can take advantage of decreased sentencing options to be able to move forward in their lives without having to be penalized any more.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but people actually have a great deal of leverage because they can select whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many men and women face. Likewise, rehabilitation centers will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities accept Medicaid when 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 rehabilitation within a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality treatment facility that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option available from a variety of drug treatment programs in order to help clients pay for rehab where this might not have been doable initially. For example, one client's price for rehab could possibly be different and less than another person whose financial situation is better which makes them more prepared to pay the full cost of treatment. Registrars take into account additional factors in addition to income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.
