Drug Addiction Facts

  • A methamphetamine high lasts longer than a cocaine high yet costs about the same, which is why it is sometimes referred to as the "poor man's cocaine."
  • Drug abuse refers to the use of a drug for purposes for which it was not attended, or using a drug in excessive quantities.
  • Common additives used to cut cocaine are sugars, anesthetics and cornstarch but it is also sometimes cut with other illicit drugs, such as heroin, codeine, amphetamine, PCP, LSD, and hashish.

Outpatient

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

Other than ASL, such services can include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are receiving the help they require in drug rehab.

Spanish

Not all drug rehab facilities have the staff or resources to cater to the needs of Spanish speaking clients, but luckily there are more and more centers that will do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Counselling, study information and stuff like that are now frequently accessible in Spanish in both long and short terms programs which provide inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish treatment is available too around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter. In addition, treatment centers will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation facilities will take Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present some other form of private health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehab facility that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug rehabilitation programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in establishing the person's treatment plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other type 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 can be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only inside the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug treatment service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab programs. Individuals could possibly have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program which is in their network of providers and there can be other limitations such as the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a good facility they like and consult with a treatment specialist to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs in addition to partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some limitations concerning how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before you start treatment so that it is clear how long and individual can remain in the treatment facility of preference.
