Drug Addiction Facts

  • When prescription stimulants are abused even after a short period of time, withdrawal symptoms can result upon abrupt cessation including fatigue, depression, and disturbed sleep patterns.
  • Prescription stimulants are commonly abused because of how easily they are accessed, and can be obtained easily through friends and family, direct prescriptions from a physician, or a prescription "drug dealer." However, the most common source of prescription stimulants is the medicine cabinets of the individual's friends and family.
  • The benefits of an inpatient drug rehabilitation program occur on all levels of treatment: psychological, physical, and emotional.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a number of settings along with various rehabilitation lengths and plans to accommodate the varying needs of clients with any type of and level of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential programs now being paid by many insurance plans, you shouldn't have to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anybody who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of intensity of care, since the individual can maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a treatment facility while receiving rehab services. Even though this might appear perfect it might not provide the much needed change of surroundings than lots of people in treatment have to have to experience a productive rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse due to problems that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this problem is often difficult among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL as well as other assistance services readily available for them when drug abuse rehab is required. Other than ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are receiving the help they need in drug treatment.

Spanish

Not all drug rehab programs have the staff or wherewithal to focus on the needs of Spanish speaking clientele, but thankfully there are more and more facilities that are able to do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Counselling, study data and so on are now frequently obtainable in Spanish in both short and long terms facilities which provide inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehab is available too nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but people actually have a much more leverage because they can select whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many men and women face. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present some other form of private health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehab facility that will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. If someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only within the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some form of alcohol and drug rehab service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals may have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program which is in their network of providers and there might be other limitations like how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select a quality center they prefer and consult with a treatment counselor to find out if their insurance will cover it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option available from numerous drug and alcohol treatment centers in order to help individuals pay for rehabilitation where this might not have been possible initially. As an example, one client's fee for rehab could possibly be different and another individual whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to pay for the full cost of treatment. Registrars take into account additional circumstances besides income including number of dependents to determine the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
