Drug Addiction Facts

  • Due to the number of deaths and overdoses resulting from fentanyl transdermal patches, the Food and Drug Administration issued safety warnings in 2005 highlighting the importance of strict adherence to the guidelines for the proper use of any and all fentanyl products.
  • A combination of heroin and fentanyl is responsible for 22 recent overdose deaths in western Pennsylvania.
  • Methadone stays in the system as long as 59 hours, but only provides pain relief for up to 8 hours. Patients may need more pain relief before the drug is cleared from the body, and therefore administer another dose too soon resulting in toxic levels of the drug in the system which can lead to life-threatening changes in breathing and heart function.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment services in terms of intensity of care, since the individual can keep their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to be in a rehab program while receiving rehabilitation services. Even if this may appear ideal it might not provide the required change of surroundings than lots of people in rehab require to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage because they can choose whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. In addition, rehabilitation programs will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain treatment centers will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present another kind of private health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehab center which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug treatment programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in setting up the person's rehab plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug rehab service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals may have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab center that is in their network of providers and there could be other restrictions like the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent facility they prefer and speak with a treatment specialist to find out if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain substance abuse treatment 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 in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some restrictions regarding the length of time a stay in inpatient drug rehabilitation is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it is clear just how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility offered by a number of drug rehab facilities to help help individuals afford treatment where this may not have been doable initially. As an example, one client's fee for rehab might be different and less than another person whose finances are better making them more prepared to pay for the full price of treatment. Registrars consider other factors in addition to income including number of dependents to determine the final cost and using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug treatment centers provide payment assistance to help individuals who might possibly not have sufficient funds to self pay for rehab or whose health insurance won't supply coverage or full coverage for his or her stay. As an example, Occasionally insurance only pays for a short-term facility when in actuality a long-term program is going to be the more suitable option. To see what payment assistance could be offered, such as a sliding fee scale, talk with the facility for details.
