Drug Addiction Facts

  • The first step in any inpatient rehabilitation program is a patient evaluation. The evaluation lets the treatment team assess the extent of each patient's physical addiction and identify any mental or physical health issues that need to be addressed.
  • When cocaine and alcohol are used together the human liver manufactures a third substance, cocaethylene, which intensifies cocaine's euphoric effects, while possibly increasing the risk of sudden death.
  • It is estimated that about 75% of rapes occur when at least one party is under the influence of alcohol.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in many different settings and with various treatment lengths and plans to suit the various needs of clients with any sort of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being covered by many insurance companies, there is no need to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to level of care, for the reason that individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to remain in a rehabilitation facility while receiving treatment services. Although this may appear perfect it may not provide the required change of atmosphere than a lot of people in treatment have to have to experience a productive rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage simply because they can decide on whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, treatment facilities will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present another kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehab program which will get better results, like a long-term residential drug rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in setting up the person's rehab strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some type of drug and alcohol rehab service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment centers. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center that is within their network of providers and there can be other restrictions such as how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent program they prefer and speak with a rehab counselor to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities 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 speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some limitations about just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it is clear the length of time and individual can remain in the treatment center of preference.
