Drug Addiction Facts

  • The Western and Midwestern portions of the U.S. struggle the worst with the meth problem.
  • A driver who is under the influence of marijuana loses the ability to "track" (stay in lane) through curves, to brake quickly, and to maintain speed and the proper distance between cars is affected.
  • Ecstasy causes many of its effects by releasing large amounts of the brain's reward chemical serotonin, after which the brain becomes significantly depleted of this important chemical which then causes negative behavioral aftereffects that users often experience for several days after taking the drug.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab solutions in terms of intensity of care, as the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to stay in a rehab program while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even if this might seem perfect it may not provide the required change of surroundings than a lot of people in recovery require to have a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse problems are what are identified in the field of alcohol and drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must deal with both disorders during rehabilitation in order to find resolution simply because one typically triggers the other. Fortunately, there are several drug and alcohol treatment facilities who are able to specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues face to be able to not just become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not want to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use because of the challenges that their impairment impose on them. While detection of this issue can sometimes be difficult among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL and other assistance services designed for them when substance abuse treatment is required. Aside from ASL, such services may include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired people are receiving the help they need in alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

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 instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but people in fact have a much more leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many people face. In addition, rehabilitation programs will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities will take Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present some other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehabilitation facility which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug and alcohol treatment programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with setting up the individual's treatment plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to 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 can be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only in the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some form of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehab facilities. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug rehab facility that is in their network of providers and there can be other restrictions for example the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select a quality facility they prefer and consult with a rehab specialist to find out if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain substance abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers as well as partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some limitations as to how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it is clear how long and individual can remain in the rehab program of preference.
