Drug Addiction Facts

  • Once Ecstasy is consumed it takes only about 15 minutes for the drug to enter the bloodstream and reach the brain, and one "hit" of Ecstasy can last for 3 to 6 hours.
  • In high doses or when used concurrently with other drugs or alcohol, methadone can produce some of the same effects of heroin and other opiates.
  • Brain studies indicate that even acute short term use of Ecstasy can adversely affect the areas of the brain involved in higher thought processes, raising concerns regarding possible long-term effects on both infrequent and regular users of Ecstasy.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions in terms of intensity of care, for the reason that individual can maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to be in a rehabilitation center while undergoing rehab services. Even though this might appear perfect it may not provide the required change of environment than many people in treatment need to have a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders are what are known in the field of alcohol and drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must deal with both disorders while in rehab in order to find resolution because one typically triggers the other. Luckily, there are lots of alcohol and drug rehab centers who are able to specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face to be able to not just become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never feel the need to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse due to the problems that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this issue is often hard among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and also other assistance services readily available for them when substance abuse rehab is necessary. Besides ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are obtaining the help they need in drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but individuals really have a great deal of leverage because they can choose whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. In addition, rehab programs will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some treatment programs will take Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present some other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehabilitation facility which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

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

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some sort of alcohol and drug rehab service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment programs. Individuals could have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment center that's in their network of providers and there might be other limitations such as how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a quality center they like and consult with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance covers it.
