Drug Addiction Facts

  • Research shows that while smoking marijuana, people show the same lack of coordination on standard "drunk driver" tests as people who have had too much to drink.
  • The original and ultimate intention of methadone maintenance treatment programs was to reduce illegal heroin use and the crime, death, and disease associated with heroin addiction.
  • Heroin is frequently available in its powder form which is white in color; the purer the heroin, the whiter it will appear. Less pure powder heroin is a deep tan color.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of intensity of care, as the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to remain in a treatment program while undergoing treatment services. While this might seem perfect it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than lots of people in rehab require to have a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders are what are recognized in the field of drug and alcohol rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must address both disorders when it's in treatment to find resolution because one typically triggers the other. Fortunately, there are lots of alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers who are able to specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face to enable them to not simply become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never want to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Spanish

Not all drug rehabilitation programs have the staff or resources to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clients, but luckily there are more and more centers that can do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than any other time. Counselling, study info and stuff like that are actually very often obtainable in Spanish in both long and short terms facilities which deliver inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is also available around the country.

Other Languages

In each and every city in the U.S. there is someone fighting substance abuse that isn't necessarily fluent in English, who might need rehab in whichever language it is that they are fluent in so that their needs may be catered to properly when in treatment. Luckily, there are many drug and alcohol treatment facilities who 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 rehabilitation facility and inquire if it is possible to receive treatment in other languages.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but people in fact have a great deal of leverage because they can choose whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many men and women face. In addition, rehabilitation programs will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities will take Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present some other form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality treatment center which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at alcohol and drug rehab programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the center 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 services are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment programs. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab facility that is within their network of providers and there may be other limitations for example how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select an excellent center they prefer and speak with a rehabilitation specialist to determine if their insurance will handle it.
