Drug Addiction Facts

  • In 2012 the average age of new meth users was approximately 20 years old.
  • The increase in serotonin caused by Ecstasy which produces a high also results in a low because the drug also interferes with its synthesis which leads to a considerable depletion of serotonin. As a result, it takes the human brain a significant amount of time to rebuild the store of serotonin needed to perform important physiological and psychological functions.
  • Meth is most often abused for days on end known as a "binge", whereby users often forego sleep and food to use meth.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are available to anyone that needs to be safely managed through detox services when intensely addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, or who wants a broader spectrum of care such as somebody who is dealing with a dual diagnosis so also requires mental health services as part of their rehabilitation procedure. You'll find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services offered.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab solutions regarding level of care, as the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to be in a rehab program while undergoing treatment services. Even though this may seem perfect it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many people in recovery need to have a successful rehab.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and drug abuse as a result of problems their impairment impose on them. While detection of this problem can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL as well as other assistance services intended for them when drug abuse treatment is necessary. Apart from ASL, such services can include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired folks are getting the help they require in drug and alcohol treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but individuals in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many individuals face. In addition, rehab facilities will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present some other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals may choose to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality treatment program which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug treatment programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in establishing the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like 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 costs of drug and alcohol rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only in the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some kind of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment facilities. Individuals may have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab program which is in their network of providers and there could be other limitations for example just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent center they prefer and meet with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular substance abuse treatment solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs in addition to partial hospitalization are covered 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 as to the length of time a stay in inpatient drug treatment is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered prior to starting treatment so that it's clear how much time and individual can stay in the rehabilitation center of choice.
