Drug Addiction Facts

  • Individuals taking part in a methadone maintenance program will get a "take home" dose on the weekend, because many centers are not open on Sundays.
  • Withdrawing from Fentanyl is very similar to that of heroin and it can be very uncomfortable and painful.
  • When fentanyl binds to opioid receptors this in turn elevates dopamine levels in the brain's reward areas, which then produces a state of euphoria and relaxation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and drug abuse because of the problems that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem can sometimes be hard among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL and other assistance services available for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is needed. Apart from ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are getting the support they need in drug and alcohol rehab.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present any other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehab program which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug rehab programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some form of alcohol and drug rehab service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers. Individuals may have to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment center that's within their network of providers and there may be other limitations like just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a good center they like and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance will handle it.
