Drug Addiction Facts

  • As of 2011, about 33% of 12th grade students had used marijuana in the past year.
  • Studies indicate that cocaine may have a direct effect on blood vessels in the brain, causing them to go into spasm and narrow, resulting in a decrease of blood to the brain, and may even cause inflammation in the blood vessels of the brain and cause stroke.
  • As of 2005, the National Institute of Health discovered that 44% of all inpatient treatment individuals successfully completed the facilities' programs, however, this figure does not show the long-term success rates of the centers.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in many different settings along with different rehab lengths and plans to accommodate the varying demands of clients with any sort of and degree of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential centers now being included in many insurance companies, there's no need to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of level of care, because the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehabilitation facility while undergoing rehab services. Although this may seem perfect it might not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many individuals in rehab have to have to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse problems are what are known in the field of drug and alcohol rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must handle both disorders while in rehabilitation to find resolution due to the fact one usually triggers the other. Fortunately, there are several drug and alcohol treatment facilities that can specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues face in order to not just become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never feel the need to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Gays and Lesbians

It is vital that gays and lesbians receive excellent treatment solutions in a rehab environment which can be discreet and with treatment professionals at their disposal who understand the distinctive challenges that they can have to deal with in life. Because drug abuse for gays and lesbians is sometimes triggered by the challenges they face because of their sexual preference, a program which can help them handle these issues and give them the confidence that they've lacked before arriving in rehab can be quite a crucial part of rehabilitation for gay and lesbian clients.

Women

Women require high quality rehab in rehab but might also need special focus on the unique issues they face because of gender. Males and females not only face varying and unique challenges in life due to gender, but also may abuse drugs and alcohol for unique reasons. drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers which cater to women and the specific and unique needs that women encounter often helps significantly on the women's path to long term abstinence and a higher quality lifestyle.

Men

Similar to how women and men face varying and different challenges in daily life which can be specific to their gender, women and men could also encounter unique challenges in treatment that are gender-specific, and that's why a center designed specifically with these unique needs and challenges at heart can be extremely helpful for someone seeking a powerful rehab solution.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders are often given the possibility or ordered to treatment as a term of their sentencing. Sometimes, the offender can decide which rehabilitation program they wish to attend. When successfully completed, DUI and DWI offenders benefit from reduced sentencing options so that they can move ahead in their lives without having to be penalized further.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into treatment as part of a court ruling to fulfill a part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug treatment often receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when being cooperative with alcohol and drug treatment requirements enforced on them as part of sentencing especially of course when successfully graduating an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a much more leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, rehabilitation programs will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present any other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehabilitation program which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug treatment programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in establishing the person's rehab plan. 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 may be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If a person doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only inside the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some type of drug treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment programs. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug rehab center which is within their network of providers and there may be other limitations like the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a good facility they prefer and meet with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility made available from many different alcohol and drug treatment programs in an effort to help individuals afford rehabilitation where this might not have been possible initially. For example, one client's price for rehab could possibly be different and someone else whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to pay the full expense of rehab. Registrars take into account other factors aside from income including amount of dependents to determine the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
