Drug Addiction Facts

  • In Minneapolis, Minnesota, arrestees testing positive for opiates such as heroin are much younger (19.8 percent were under 21 years of age) than those testing positive for cocaine and methamphetamine.
  • When Fentanyl is administered it rapidly crosses the blood-brain barrier, and when this occurs it produced not only pain relief but also produces sedation and varying levels of respiratory depression, as well as nausea, and vomiting in some cases.
  • Because using heroin depresses the central nervous system, an individual's mental function can often become clouded.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services with regards to intensity of care, because the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehab facility while receiving treatment services. Even if this might seem perfect it may not provide the required change of environment than many individuals in rehabilitation have to have to experience a productive rehab.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use because of the challenges their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem is often difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and also other assistance services available for them when substance abuse rehab is necessary. Other than ASL, such services can include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are receiving the help they need in drug and alcohol treatment.

Spanish

Not all drug rehab centers have the staff or resources to focus on the demands of Spanish speaking clientele, but thankfully there are more and more centers that can do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than any other time. Therapy, study information and so on are actually frequently available in Spanish in both short and long terms programs which deliver inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but people really have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many men and women face. Likewise, treatment programs will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present some other type of private health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation facility that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug and alcohol rehab facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with setting up the person's treatment plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If a person doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some kind of alcohol and drug rehab service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment facilities. Individuals could possibly have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab center that is in their network of providers and there may be other restrictions including just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent center they prefer and meet with a rehabilitation specialist to determine if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular drug abuse rehab services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities and also partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some restrictions as to the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehab is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it is clear how long and individual can stay in the treatment program of preference.
