Drug Addiction Facts

  • Findings from a recent study concluded that after three years, the positive effects of Ritalin on conditions such as ADHD typically fade, and by eight years there is no evidence that this type of medication used to treat the disorder produces any academic or behavioral benefits.
  • In 2008, prescription pain killers such as OxyContin, Vicodin and methadone claimed nearly 5,000 lives.
  • The risk for stroke associated with cocaine use is much higher than with other stroke risk factors, such as diabetes, high blood pressure or smoking due to the fact that cocaine use can result in the constriction of blood vessels, increased heart rate, body temperature and blood pressure, and decreased oxygen supply to the brain.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions with regards to level of care, since the individual can maintain their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to be in a treatment program while receiving rehab services. Even if this might appear perfect it might not provide the required change of atmosphere than lots of people in rehab need to have a productive rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and drug abuse because of the challenges their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this problem can be difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL along with other assistance services available for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is required. Besides ASL, such services might include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are receiving the support they require in drug treatment.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug treatment facilities have the staff or resources to cater to the demands of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately there are more and more facilities that will do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Counselling, study data and the like are now very often accessible in Spanish in both long and short terms centers which deliver inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish treatment is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present another kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehab facility that will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab center.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might qualify for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only within the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehab service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment programs. Individuals could have to participate in a drug rehab facility which is in their network of providers and there could be other limitations for example the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select an excellent program they like and speak with a treatment specialist to determine if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain substance abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs and also partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some restrictions about just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before you begin treatment so that it's clear how long and individual can remain in the treatment facility of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility made available from numerous alcohol and drug rehab facilities to help help individuals afford rehabilitation where this may not have been possible initially. By way of example, one client's price for treatment could be different and less than another person whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to spend the money for full cost of rehab. Registrars take into consideration other factors apart from income including amount of dependents to determine the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
