Drug Addiction Facts

  • Research indicates that the chemical and molecular changes in the brain caused by chronic meth use may persist long after meth abuse has stopped.
  • Fentanyl is an extremely dangerous substitute for heroin because it is much more potent than heroin, which often results in accidental overdoses and death as a result of respiratory depression.
  • In 2009, 750,000 methadone prescriptions were written for pain relief, but only 250,000 people were treated with the drug for opiate addiction.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services with regards to intensity of care, as the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to remain in a treatment program while undergoing rehabilitation services. Although this might seem perfect it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than a lot of people in rehabilitation need to experience a productive rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and drug abuse due to the problems their impairment impose on them. While detection of this issue can be hard among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL as well as other assistance services designed for them when substance abuse rehabilitation is required. Apart from ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are receiving the help they need in alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all drug rehabilitation facilities have the staff or wherewithal to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clients, but luckily there are more and more centers that are able to do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Counselling, study information and stuff like that are now frequently available in Spanish in both short and long terms programs which provide inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish rehab is available too nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person'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 seem like a drawback but people in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many men and women face. In addition, rehabilitation centers will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present some other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehab facility that will produce better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug rehabilitation facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in establishing the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might qualify for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only in the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug and alcohol treatment service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs. Individuals could have to take part in a drug rehabilitation center that is within their network of providers and there could be other limitations such as the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent facility they prefer and meet with a rehab specialist to find out if their insurance covers it.
