Drug Addiction Facts

  • Studies indicate that the brains of Ecstasy users who experience serotonin depletion take a significant amount of time to restore the level of serotonin needed to perform important physiological and psychological functions.
  • About 1 in 10 teens uses cough syrup or cold medicine to get high, including cough syrups containing codeine.
  • Like heroin and other opiates, if an user has developed a physical dependence to methadone and they stop taking it or decrease their dose they begin to experience methadone withdrawal. This happens after very short term use.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab solutions with regards to level of care, as the individual can preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a treatment facility while undergoing rehab services. Even though this may appear ideal it will not provide the much needed change of environment than many individuals in rehabilitation require to experience a successful rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use as a result of challenges that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this issue can sometimes be difficult among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL and other assistance services designed for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is required. Aside from ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are obtaining the support they need in drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present another kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation program that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at alcohol and drug rehab programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in establishing the person's rehab plan. Inpatient services are provided through 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 may be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some form of drug rehab service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab facilities. Individuals might have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program that is inside their network of providers and there could be other limitations for example the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a good program they prefer and speak with a rehabilitation specialist to determine if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular substance abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers in addition to partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some limitations as to how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before beginning rehabilitation so that it is clear how much time and individual can remain in the treatment center of preference.
