Drug Addiction Facts

  • Animal studies indicate that animals will work more persistently at pressing a bar for cocaine than for any other drug, including opiates. In one example, one monkey test subject pressed the bar 12,800 times until it got a single dose of cocaine. If the animal survives in such studies, it will return to the task of obtaining more cocaine.
  • There is concern among pediatricians that using prescription stimulants on children may affect their development, and it is still unknown how these drugs biologically affect the developing brain.
  • Fentanyl oral lozenges and injectables are also commonly diverted and abused.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of level of care, as the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation 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 have to have to experience a successful rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse due to problems their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem is often difficult among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL as well as other assistance services designed for them when drug abuse treatment is needed. Besides ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are getting the help they require in drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab facilities will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present another form of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation program that will produce better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug rehabilitation programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in setting up the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only inside the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals may have to participate in a drug rehabilitation facility which is within their network of providers and there might be other limitations including the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent program they like and speak with a treatment specialist to determine if their insurance will handle it.
