Drug Addiction Facts

  • Research has shown that marijuana can produce a range of transient psychotic symptoms and cognitive deficits, such as deficits in learning, short-term memory, working memory, executive function, abstract ability, decision-making and attention.
  • When drugs like Ritalin and Adderall are prescribed in routine pediatric doses, they commonly cause hypertension, which can lead to an enlarged heart.
  • Some studies suggest that a marijuana user's risk of heart attack during the first hour after having smoked the drug is four times his or her usual risk.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab services regarding level of care, because the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to be in a rehab facility while undergoing rehab services. Even if this might appear ideal it will not provide the required change of atmosphere than a lot of people in recovery require to experience a successful rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present some other form of private health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehab facility which will get better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug and alcohol rehab programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in establishing the person's rehab strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some type of drug and alcohol rehab service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment facilities. Individuals could have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab center which is inside their network of providers and there can be other restrictions including the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a quality facility they like and meet with a rehabilitation specialist to find out if their insurance will handle it.
