Drug Addiction Facts

  • Inpatient treatment does not include detox as that usually occurs in a hospital environment but follows it.
  • Cocaine abusers are at increased risk for contracting infectious diseases such as human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) and viral hepatitis, not only from sharing contaminated needles and drug paraphernalia but also from engaging in risky behaviors as a result of intoxication.
  • Children of alcoholics are at higher risk for disruptive behavioral problems and are more likely than children whose parents are not alcoholics to be sensation seeking, aggressive, and impulsive.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab solutions with regards to level of care, as the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to remain in a rehabilitation program while undergoing treatment services. While this might seem ideal it might not provide the much needed change of environment than many people in recovery have to have to experience a successful rehab.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse due to the challenges their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the issue can be hard among the hearing impaired, there are ASL as well as other assistance services designed for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is needed. Aside from ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are getting the support they require in drug and alcohol treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but people in fact have a much more leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, rehabilitation centers will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present some other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality treatment center which will get better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with setting up the individual's rehab strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only inside the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some type of drug rehabilitation service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals could have to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment program that's in their network of providers and there could be other limitations including the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a good facility they prefer and speak with a treatment specialist to determine if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular drug abuse rehab solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some restrictions concerning how much time a stay in inpatient drug treatment is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehab so that it is clear how much time and individual can stay in the treatment facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility provided by a number of drug and alcohol treatment facilities in order to help clients afford rehabilitation where this may not have been doable initially. For example, one client's price for treatment may be different and less than another person whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to pay the full expense of rehab. Registrars take into consideration variables in addition to income including amount of dependents to determine the final cost using the sliding scale.
