Drug Addiction Facts

  • All stimulants, whether prescription or illicit such as methamphetamine, work by increasing dopamine levels in the brain; dopamine is a brain chemical which has to do with pleasure, movement, and attention. This is what produces a high when abused.
  • The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has warned consumers that that methylphenidate products, one type of stimulant drug used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), may in rare instances cause prolonged and sometimes painful erections known as priapism.
  • It is estimated that about 300 stroke cases involving young adults each year are associated with acute cocaine use.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anybody that should be safely managed through detox services when heavily dependent to drugs, or who needs a better spectrum of care such as somebody who has a dual diagnosis and also needs mental health services during their rehab process. There are both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services available.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab solutions in terms of level of care, as the individual can maintain their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to stay in a rehabilitation program while undergoing rehabilitation services. Although this may seem ideal it will not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than lots of people in recovery require to have a successful rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol rehab facilities possess the staff or wherewithal to focus on the needs of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately 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 information and stuff like that are actually very often accessible in Spanish in both short and long terms centers which provide inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is also available nationwide.

Other Languages

In every single city in America there's someone being affected by substance abuse that isn't necessarily fluent in English, who might need treatment in whichever language it is they are fluent in so that their needs can be catered to properly during rehabilitation. Thankfully, there are numerous drug treatment facilities which have counselors on staff who speak other languages to make alcohol and drug rehab the best experience possible for anyone. Simply find a quality drug and alcohol rehab center and find out if it is feasible to receive rehabilitation in other languages.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but people really have a great deal of leverage because they can choose whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, treatment centers will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities will take Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present another kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may want to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality treatment program which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug rehab programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with setting up the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only in the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some type of drug treatment service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals may have to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment facility that's within their network of providers and there may be other limitations such as the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a good program they like and meet with a rehabilitation counselor to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain substance abuse rehab services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some limitations about how long a stay in inpatient drug rehab is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered before beginning rehab so that it's clear how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation center of choice.
