Drug Addiction Facts

  • Once Ecstasy is consumed it takes only about 15 minutes for the drug to enter the bloodstream and reach the brain, and one "hit" of Ecstasy can last for 3 to 6 hours.
  • In high doses or when used concurrently with other drugs or alcohol, methadone can produce some of the same effects of heroin and other opiates.
  • Brain studies indicate that even acute short term use of Ecstasy can adversely affect the areas of the brain involved in higher thought processes, raising concerns regarding possible long-term effects on both infrequent and regular users of Ecstasy.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions in terms of intensity of care, for the reason that individual can maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to be in a rehabilitation center while undergoing rehab services. Even though this might appear perfect it may not provide the required change of environment than many people in treatment need to have 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 problems that their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem can be difficult among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL and other assistance services readily available for them when drug abuse rehab is necessary. Besides ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired people are getting the support they require in alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

Other Languages

In every single city in the U.S. there is someone struggling with substance abuse that isn't necessarily fluent in English, who may need rehabilitation in whichever language it is they are fluent in to ensure their needs may be catered to properly when in treatment. Thankfully, there are lots of drug rehab facilities that have counselors within their facility who speak other languages to make drug and alcohol treatment the most effective experience possible for any individual. Simply look for a top quality drug and alcohol rehab program and find out if it is feasible to receive treatment in other languages.

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 cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals in fact have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many people encounter. In addition, rehab programs will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab facilities accept Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present some other kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality treatment program which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at alcohol and drug treatment programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in establishing the individual's rehab strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab 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 treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office in their area to ascertain 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.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some type of drug and alcohol rehab service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug treatment facilities. Individuals could have to participate in a drug rehab facility that's within their network of providers and there might be other restrictions such as the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a good center they prefer and speak with a rehabilitation specialist to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some limitations regarding the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before beginning rehabilitation so that it is clear the length of time and individual can stay in the treatment facility of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility offered by a number of drug and alcohol rehab centers to help help individuals afford rehab where this may not have been doable initially. As an example, one client's price for treatment might be different and lower than somebody else whose financial situation is better which makes them better able to pay for the full cost of treatment. Registrars take into account other factors aside from income including amount of dependents to determine the final cost and using the sliding scale.
