Drug Addiction Facts

  • According to the Center for Disease Control, methadone use is riskier than other prescription painkiller use because levels build up in the body and may interfere with a person's normal heart rhythm or breathing.
  • A recent study found that 9.5% of primary and secondary syphilis cases among heterosexual men were among those who had a history of methamphetamine use.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are available to anyone that should be safely managed through detoxification services when heavily dependent to drugs, or who needs a broader spectrum of care such as someone who is dealing with a dual diagnosis and also needs mental health services as part of their rehab process. You can find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services accessible.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services in terms of intensity of care, as the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to remain in a treatment program while undergoing rehabilitation services. Although this might seem ideal it will not provide the required change of environment than lots of people in treatment require to have a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues are what are recognized in the field of alcohol and drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must tackle both disorders when it's in rehab to find resolution due to the fact one typically exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are many drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers that can specifically address the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues face to be able to not simply become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not feel the need to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Seniors/Older Adults

Seniors and older adults who have a problem with substance abuse could possibly have unique obstacles they have to conquer whilst in treatment, which rehab professionals within the program they choose to be a part of have to be keen of to ensure a complete recovery may be possible. So for seniors and older adults, it is advisable to choose a center that's used to helping seniors and older adults deal with the unique life and drug use problems that these clients face which may include a wider spectrum of services including medical care and so on.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse because of the problems their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this issue can sometimes be hard among the hearing impaired, there are ASL as well as other assistance services designed for them when drug abuse treatment is necessary. Apart from ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired people are receiving the help they need in drug treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of treatment or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but people actually have a much more leverage because they can select whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehab programs will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present another type of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehab center that will get better results, like a long-term residential drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug and alcohol treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in setting up the person's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some sort of alcohol and drug treatment service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities. Individuals may have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center which is in their network of providers and there may be other limitations such as how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select an excellent facility they like and meet with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers as well as partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some limitations about how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before you start treatment so that it's clear how long and individual can remain in the rehab facility of preference.
