Drug Addiction Facts

  • Codeine is one of the active ingredients found in poppies, however the drug is more often synthesized by pharmaceutical companies and used in medicine to treat pain, cough and mild inflammation.
  • Used fentanyl patches are attractive to illicit abusers as quite a bit of fentanyl remains in these patches even after a 3-day use.
  • Like heroin, morphine, and other opioid drugs, fentanyl binds to opioid receptors which are highly concentrated in areas of the brain that control pain and emotions.

Partial Hospitalization/Day Treatment

Partial hospitalization, or Day Treatment as it is often referred to as, is a kind of alcohol and drug treatment facility meant for many who need and desire a comprehensive and organized rehabilitation strategy and atmosphere yet don't need night and day supervision. It can help make individuals in rehab continue to be supported rehabilitation course of action without upsetting other activities they may need to maintain during rehab. Partial hospitalization/Day Treatment is also a possibility for those who have completed an inpatient or residential program and need help with the smooth transition back into an average drug-free lifestyle.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use due to challenges their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the issue can be difficult among the hearing impaired, there are ASL as well as other assistance services readily available for them when drug abuse treatment is required. Besides ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are getting 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 total cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but people in fact have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present another form of private health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality treatment facility which will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug rehab facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in establishing the individual's treatment plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being paid for through Medicare 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 kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only in the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehab service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment centers. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab facility that is inside their network of providers and there may be other limitations including the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a quality facility they prefer and meet with a treatment specialist to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular drug abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some limitations about how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before beginning treatment so that it's clear the length of time and individual can stay in the treatment center of preference.
