Drug Addiction Facts

  • Inpatient drug/alcohol programs, sometimes are extended for patients who are receiving some benefit from the program but have not yet made enough progress to leave the rehab facility.
  • Individuals with alcoholism or who abuse alcohol are less likely to be tested for HIV and to seek treatment, and are less compliant with treatment regimens than those without alcohol use disorders.
  • As with other opiate narcotics, methadone creates a feeling of well-being and binds to the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other drugs.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are available to anybody that must be safely managed through detoxification services when seriously dependent to drugs and/or alcohol, or who needs a better spectrum of care such as somebody who has a dual diagnosis so also requires mental health services as part of their treatment process. You'll find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services offered.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab solutions in terms of level of care, because the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to be in a treatment program while receiving rehab services. Even though this may appear ideal it might not provide the much needed change of environment than many people in rehabilitation need to have a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems are what are identified in the field of drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must deal with both disorders during rehabilitation in order to find resolution due to the fact one usually triggers the other. Fortunately, there are numerous drug and alcohol rehab facilities that can specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders face to be able to not only become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not want to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but people in fact have a much more leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many people encounter. Likewise, treatment centers will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present another form 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 drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation center which will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in establishing the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered 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 treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only within the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some form of alcohol and drug treatment service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab programs. Individuals may have to participate in a drug rehab center that is inside their network of providers and there could be other restrictions including the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a quality program they like and meet with a rehab counselor to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular substance abuse treatment services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities and also partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some restrictions regarding just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehab is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it's clear just how long and individual can stay in the rehab center of choice.
