Drug Addiction Facts

  • Intramuscular heroin injection produces a slightly slower onset of heroin's euphoric feeling, taking approximately 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Ecstasy affects many of the same areas of the brain that are targeted by other addictive drugs, and studies show that animals prefer the drug, much like they do cocaine, over other pleasurable stimuli, which is another hallmark of most addictive drugs.
  • Inpatient treatment does not include detox as that usually occurs in a hospital environment but follows it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions with regards to intensity of care, because the individual can maintain their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to be in a treatment facility while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even if this might seem perfect it might not provide the required change of atmosphere than many people in rehabilitation require to have a successful rehabilitation.

Adolescents

When adolescents get involved in any sort of drug use, it is important that they receive top quality care to stop the problem in its tracks so that it doesn't get any worse and possibly put their future in jeopardy. Due to the fact adolescent drug use which continues often continues into one's adult life, parents must continue to be astute and get their adolescent treatment the moment an issue is observed in a facility which addresses adolescent drug use. Many programs which deal with adolescents supply both inpatient and residential treatment, which has been shown to be the most beneficial settings for rehabilitation clients of this age.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders are what are recognized in the field of alcohol and drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must address both disorders whilst in rehabilitation to find resolution simply because one typically exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are many drug rehabilitation facilities that can specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face to be able to not only become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not feel the need to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Gays and Lesbians

It is vital that gays and lesbians receive excellent rehab services in a rehabilitation environment which is discreet and has rehabilitation specialists at their disposal who comprehend the unique challenges that they have to deal with in life. Because substance abuse for gays and lesbians is oftentimes triggered because of the challenges they face because of their sexual preference, a rehab which can help them handle these issues and give them the peace of mind that they've lacked prior to arriving in rehab could be a crucial aspect of treatment for gay and lesbian clients.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients get into rehabilitation due to a court order to fulfill a part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehab often receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when being cooperative with alcohol and drug treatment requirements enforced on them as part of sentencing especially of course when successfully completing a drug rehabilitation facility.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but people actually have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many individuals face. In addition, rehab centers will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug rehab centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in establishing the individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as 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 costs of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only inside the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some form of drug rehab service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehab facilities. Individuals could have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program that is in their network of providers and there could be other limitations such as just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a quality center they prefer and speak with a treatment specialist to find out if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain substance abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some restrictions as to how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehab so that it's clear how much time and individual can stay in the treatment program of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option made available from numerous drug and alcohol treatment centers in order to help individuals pay for rehab where this might not have been possible originally. By way of example, one client's fee for treatment might be different and less than somebody else whose financial situation is better making them better able to spend the money for full expense of rehab. Registrars take into consideration additional factors aside from income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
