Drug Addiction Facts

  • The typical marijuana user entering substance abuse treatment in the United States is typically initiated into their use of marijuana at a very young age, with over 50% having done so by the age of 14 and almost 90% before the age of 18.
  • Meth use may lead to irreparable brain damage, because the drug destroys natural dopamine production sites in the brain.
  • 24% of patients involved in inpatient treatment are forced out of the program due to legal issues, incarceration, and termination of treatment.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders are what are known in the field of alcohol and drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must deal with both disorders while in treatment to find resolution due to the fact one usually exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are numerous alcohol and drug treatment programs who can specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues face so that they can not merely become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not want to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and drug abuse because of the problems that their impairment impose on them. While detection of this issue is often hard among the hearing impaired, there are ASL and also other assistance services available for them when substance abuse treatment is necessary. Besides ASL, such services may include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are getting the support they need in alcohol and drug treatment.

Spanish

Not all drug rehab facilities possess the staff or resources to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clientele, but fortunately there are more and more centers that will do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than previously. Counselling, study information and the like are now very often accessible in Spanish in both short and long terms centers which provide inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish treatment is also available around the country.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs accept Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present another kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may choose to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehab facility that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab center.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might qualify for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only in the state which provides the insurance plan.
