Drug Addiction Facts

  • When heroin is administered by being sniffed or smoked, the peak effects of the drug are usually felt within 15 minutes.
  • 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.
  • Despite popular belief, caffeine does not affect the metabolism of alcohol by the liver and thus does not reduce breath alcohol concentrations or reduce the risk of alcohol-attributable harms.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a variety of settings and with different treatment lengths and plans to accommodate the various needs of clients with any kind of and degree of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential centers now being included in many insurance companies, there's no need to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anybody who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of level of care, since the individual can maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to be in a treatment center while receiving rehabilitation services. Even though this might appear ideal it might not provide the required change of surroundings than a lot of people in rehabilitation require to experience a productive rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but people really have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many individuals encounter. In addition, treatment programs will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present some other type of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may want to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehab program that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation center.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some type of alcohol and drug treatment service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab centers. Individuals may have to participate in a drug treatment facility which is in their network of providers and there may be other limitations for example the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a good facility they like and speak with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular drug abuse rehab solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers in addition to partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some restrictions regarding how much time a stay in inpatient drug rehabilitation is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before beginning rehab so that it is clear the length of time and individual can stay in the rehab facility of preference.
