Drug Addiction Facts

  • After the initial euphoric feeling experienced from heroin use, users will alternate between both a wakeful and a drowsy state, sometimes called "nodding out" among users.
  • Heroin users eventually cease to experience feelings of pleasure from the drug, and they will have to continue taking the drug just to feel normal.
  • Studies indicate that youth who use alcohol before age 15 are five times more likely to become alcohol dependent than adults who begin drinking at age 21.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of level of care, since the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehab program while receiving rehabilitation services. Even if this might seem perfect it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than a lot of people in rehabilitation need to experience a successful rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse because of the challenges their impairment impose on them. While detection of the issue can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, there are ASL as well as other assistance services available for them when drug abuse rehab is required. Other than ASL, such services may include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are receiving the support they require in alcohol and drug rehab.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities have the staff or resources to focus on the requirements of Spanish speaking clients, but thankfully there are more and more programs that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Counselling, study information and the like are now very often obtainable in Spanish in both long and short terms facilities which deliver inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish treatment is available too around the country.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present any other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehab program that will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at alcohol and drug treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like 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 can be used to cover the expense of drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only within the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug treatment service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment centers. Individuals could have to participate in a drug treatment center which is inside their network of providers and there could be other limitations for example the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent center they like and consult with a treatment specialist to determine if their insurance will cover it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility provided by a variety of drug rehabilitation facilities to help help individuals pay for treatment where this may not have been possible originally. For example, one client's fee for rehabilitation could be different and lower than somebody else whose financial situation is better making them better able to spend the money for full cost of treatment. Registrars take into account other factors in addition to income including number of dependents to determine the final cost and using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug rehabilitation centers offer payment assistance to help individuals who may not have adequate resources to self pay for rehabilitation or whose health insurance won't supply coverage or total coverage for his or her stay. By way of example, Occasionally insurance only covers a short-term program when in reality a long-term facility will probably be the more suitable option. To determine what payment assistance could be available, like a sliding fee scale, consult the program for details.
