Drug Addiction Facts

  • Individuals taking part in methadone maintenance programs who intend to get high from their methadone dose will abstain from taking a dose or two, and then take an extremely large dose all at once to get a much stronger high from the drug.
  • Methadone stays in the system as long as 59 hours, but only provides pain relief for up to 8 hours. Patients may need more pain relief before the drug is cleared from the body, and therefore administer another dose too soon resulting in toxic levels of the drug in the system which can lead to life-threatening changes in breathing and heart function.
  • Research indicates that exposure to high doses of Ecstasy for 4 days can produce brain damage that can still be seen 6 to 7 years later.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in several settings and with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to accommodate the varying demands of clients with any type of and level of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being paid by many insurance plans, you don't have to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab services in terms of intensity of care, because the individual can preserve their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to remain in a treatment program while undergoing rehabilitation services. Although this might appear ideal it might not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many individuals in rehab have to have to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Adolescents

When adolescents get involved in any type of drug use, it is vital that they obtain quality care to stop the problem in its tracks so that it doesn't get any worse and maybe jeopardize their future. Because adolescent drug abuse which persists often continues into one's adult life, mothers and fathers must stay astute and get their adolescent rehabilitation the moment a problem is observed in a center which handles adolescent substance abuse. Many programs which deal with adolescents offer both inpatient and residential treatment, which has been proven to be the most beneficial environments for rehab clients of this age.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders are what are identified in the field of drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must address both disorders whilst in rehabilitation to find resolution simply because one usually exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are several drug rehabilitation programs who are able to specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders face to enable them to not only become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never feel the need to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Women

Women need to have high quality treatment in rehab but can also need particular awareness of the distinctive challenges they face for their gender. Women and men not only face varying and unique challenges in daily life because of gender, but additionally may abuse alcohol and drugs for unique reasons. drug rehab programs which cater to women and the specific and unique needs that women face often helps enormously on a women's road to long term abstinence and a higher quality lifestyle.

Men

Just as women and men encounter varying and different challenges in daily life that are specific to their gender, men and women can also face unique challenges in rehabilitation which are gender-specific, which is why a center specifically designed with these special needs and challenges in mind can be be extremely helpful for someone looking for an effective rehabilitation option.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients get into rehab due to a court order to satisfy part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehabilitation frequently receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when cooperating with alcohol and drug rehab requirements enforced with them as part of sentencing and also naturally when successfully completing a drug and alcohol treatment center.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but individuals actually have a much more leverage simply because they can select whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, rehabilitation programs will often offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present any other type of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals may choose to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehabilitation center that will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation program.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug and alcohol treatment service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals might have to take part in a drug treatment program that is in their network of providers and there could be other limitations for example how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select an excellent program they like and speak with a treatment counselor to find out if their insurance will handle it.
