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.
  • Not all inpatient drug/alcohol rehabilitations are alike. The type of care, treatment and counseling provided in the various rehab programs will have much to do with lasting sobriety.
  • Prescription opioid pain medications such as Oxycontin and Vicodin can have effects similar to heroin, and statistics and studies indicate that abuse of these drugs may open the door to heroin abuse.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions with regards to intensity of care, because the individual can keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to be in a rehabilitation facility while receiving rehabilitation services. Even though this may appear ideal it may not provide the required change of atmosphere than many people in rehab require to have a productive rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities have the staff or resources to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately there are more and more centers that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than any other time. Therapy, study information and the like are actually very often obtainable in Spanish in both long and short terms centers which provide inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but individuals really have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, treatment facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation centers will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present any other type of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may want to explore 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, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at alcohol and drug rehab programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in setting up the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some type of drug and alcohol rehab service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab centers. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug rehabilitation program which is within their network of providers and there might be other limitations including the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent facility they like and meet with a treatment specialist to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.
