Drug Addiction Facts

  • An overdose of cocaine can lead to irregular heart beat or heart failure, high blood pressure resulting in a brain hemorrhage, repeated convulsions, respiratory failure.
  • Some inpatient rehab centers have their own in-house detox programs, but more centers today are requiring patients to complete detoxification prior to entering their facilities.
  • Methadone is a synthetic opiate prescription drug which is used as "maintenance" treatment for heroin and other opiate addiction, because it curbs cravings for opiates and other opioid prescription drugs and also prevents withdrawal from these drugs.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anyone who must be safely managed through detox services when seriously addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, or who wants a broader spectrum of care such as somebody who is dealing with a dual diagnosis so also needs mental health solutions during their treatment procedure. You'll find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services offered.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of intensity of care, for the reason that individual is able to keep their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to stay in a treatment center while receiving treatment services. Although this may appear perfect it will not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than a lot of people in treatment have to have to have a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems are what are recognized in the field of alcohol and drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must address both disorders during rehab in order to find resolution simply because one often exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are several drug treatment facilities that can specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues face to enable them to not just become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not feel the need to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but people in fact have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women face. Likewise, treatment centers will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present another type of private health care insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehab facility that will produce better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug and alcohol rehab programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in setting up the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Part B.
