Drug Addiction Facts

  • Animal studies indicate that animals will work more persistently at pressing a bar for cocaine than for any other drug, including opiates. In one example, one monkey test subject pressed the bar 12,800 times until it got a single dose of cocaine. If the animal survives in such studies, it will return to the task of obtaining more cocaine.
  • It is not uncommon for chronic methamphetamine users to experience psychotic behavior including intense paranoia, hallucinations, and out-of-control rage that can result in violent episodes.
  • Deaths have occurred after snorting a single line of cocaine in recreational use where the average dose of 1 line is 20 mg.

100% Confidential.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anyone that must be safely managed through detoxification services when heavily addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, or who wants a better spectrum of care such as someone who is dealing with a dual diagnosis and also requires mental health solutions as part of their treatment process. There are both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services accessible.

Persons With HIV/AIDS

Persons with HIV/AIDS who require drug abuse treatment will often need services beyond what a standard drug and alcohol rehab program will be able to deliver. Because extensive medical services tend to be a vital aspect of the physical process of healing for addicts with HIV/AIDS, who very likely have experienced a progression and worsening of the disease because of their habit, it is important that these clients get the medical care required in conjunction with any rehab services for his or her substance abuse problem.

Gays and Lesbians

It is vital that gays and lesbians obtain excellent rehabilitation solutions within a rehab environment which is discreet and has rehabilitation specialists available to them who understand the distinctive challenges which they experience in life. Because substance abuse for gays and lesbians is sometimes triggered by the problems they face because of their sexual preference, a rehab which can help them resolve these issues and give them the confidence they may have lacked prior to arriving in treatment is usually a crucial aspect of recovery for gay and lesbian clients.

Seniors/Older Adults

Seniors and older adults who battle with substance abuse could have unique challenges they have to overcome when in rehab, which rehabilitation specialists in the facility they choose to be a part of should be keen of to ensure a full recovery may be possible. So for seniors and older adults, it is prudent to choose a facility that is accustomed to helping seniors and older adults address the unique life and drug abuse issues that these clients face which can include a wider spectrum of services including medical treatment and so on.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but individuals in fact have a much more leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, rehabilitation facilities will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab centers will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present any other type of private health care insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals might want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality treatment facility which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug rehabilitation facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in establishing the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through 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 can be used to cover the expense of drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. If a person doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might be eligible for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only inside the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some sort of alcohol and drug rehab service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab centers. Individuals could have to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment center that is within their network of providers and there may be other limitations including how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent facility they like and speak with a rehab specialist to find out if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain substance abuse rehab solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some restrictions regarding the length of time a stay in inpatient drug rehabilitation is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered before you start rehabilitation so that it is clear just how long and individual can remain in the rehabilitation facility of choice.
