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 risk of cocaine use for high school students is much greater for those who have tried marijuana than for those who have never tried it.
  • Inpatient treatment programs last a minimum of 28 days. Patients voluntarily enter a safe, secure center in which intensive drug/alcohol treatment programs are the foundation of the patient's daily activities.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services in terms of level of care, since the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to be in a rehab facility while receiving rehab services. While this may appear ideal it might not provide the required change of atmosphere than a lot of people in rehabilitation have to have to experience a successful rehab.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and drug abuse due to the problems their impairment impose on them. While detection of this issue can be hard among the hearing impaired, there are ASL along with other assistance services intended for them when substance abuse rehab is needed. Apart from ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are obtaining the support they require in alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present another kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehab program that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug treatment facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug treatment centers 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 help out with setting up the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only in the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug and alcohol treatment service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility which is inside their network of providers and there can be other restrictions like the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a quality center they prefer and consult with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities and also 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 limitations concerning how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before you start rehabilitation so that it's clear just how long and individual can remain in the rehabilitation center of choice.
