Drug Addiction Facts

  • The first step in substance treatment is detoxification, which is many times medically supervised or performed in an inpatient treatment facility.
  • The goal of inpatient substance treatment is to provide a protective environment that includes support, medical stabilization, treatment for psychiatric or addictive disorders, and supervision.
  • Marijuana can affect judgment and decision making, which can lead to risky sexual behavior resulting in exposure to sexually transmitted diseases like HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment solutions with regards to level of care, as the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to remain in a rehab center while receiving rehabilitation services. Even if this may seem ideal it might not provide the required change of atmosphere than a lot of people in rehabilitation have to have to experience a productive rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and substance abuse because of the problems their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem can often be hard among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL along with other assistance services designed for them when substance abuse rehabilitation is needed. Aside from ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are receiving the help they require in drug and alcohol treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage because they can select whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present some other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality treatment facility that will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug rehab programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in establishing the person's rehab strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment 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 kind of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals may have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility which is in their network of providers and there might be other restrictions like the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a good center they prefer and consult with a rehabilitation specialist to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility provided by a variety of drug and alcohol rehab programs in an effort to help individuals afford rehabilitation where this might not have been doable originally. By way of example, one client's price for rehabilitation could possibly be different and lower than another individual whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to pay for the full cost of rehab. Registrars consider additional factors apart from income including number of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.
