Drug Addiction Facts

  • Injection cocaine users have puncture marks and "tracks" at injection sites, most commonly in their forearms.
  • Methadone stays in the system as long as 59 hours, but only provides pain relief for up to 8 hours. Patients may need more pain relief before the drug is cleared from the body, and therefore administer another dose too soon resulting in toxic levels of the drug in the system which can lead to life-threatening changes in breathing and heart function.
  • Inpatient drug/alcohol daily activities may include individual and group therapy, exercise, yoga, tai chi, lectures, assisting NA or AA meetings, personal homework assignments, special therapies for psychiatric issues, art therapy, music therapy, responsibilities and task.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment services regarding intensity of care, as the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a rehab program while receiving rehab services. Even if this might appear ideal it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many individuals in rehab have to have to experience a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders are what are known in the field of drug and alcohol treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must tackle both disorders during rehabilitation to find resolution because one often exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are numerous alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities that can specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face to enable them to not just become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not want to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients get into rehab as part of a court ruling in order to meet a part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug treatment often receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when being cooperative with alcohol and drug rehabilitation specifications enforced on them in sentencing and also naturally when successfully completing a drug and alcohol rehab facility.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and substance abuse due to problems their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem can be difficult among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL and other assistance services designed for them when substance abuse rehab is needed. Other than ASL, such services can include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are obtaining the help they require in alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but people in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. Likewise, treatment centers will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present another form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals may want to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality treatment center that will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in establishing the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only within the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug and alcohol treatment service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab facilities. Individuals may have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program that's within their network of providers and there can be other restrictions including just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a quality facility they like and consult with a treatment specialist to find out if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain drug abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities as well as partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some limitations regarding the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered before you start rehab so that it is clear how long and individual can stay in the rehab program of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility offered by many different alcohol and drug treatment centers in an effort to help clients pay for rehab where this might not have been possible initially. By way of example, one client's price for treatment could be different and another individual whose financial situation is better which makes them more prepared to pay the full expense of rehabilitation. Registrars consider variables in addition to income including amount of dependents to determine the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
