Drug Addiction Facts

  • The risk for stroke associated with cocaine use is much higher than with other stroke risk factors, such as diabetes, high blood pressure or smoking due to the fact that cocaine use can result in the constriction of blood vessels, increased heart rate, body temperature and blood pressure, and decreased oxygen supply to the brain.
  • A chronic heroin user can often begin to experience withdrawal symptoms within hours of the last administration of the drug.
  • Although inpatient treatment can take place in a hospital setting, for the most part a residential setting is typical, offering 24-hour care and surveillance. The most common form of treatment is a therapeutic community, involving the other patients and staff, focusing on helping the person understand the sources and conditions that lead to substance abuse.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab services regarding level of care, for the reason that individual can keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to remain in a rehabilitation facility while receiving rehabilitation services. Although this may seem perfect it may not provide the required change of environment than many individuals in rehabilitation have to have to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all drug rehabilitation programs have the staff or wherewithal to focus on the demands of Spanish speaking clientele, but fortunately there are more and more centers that are able to do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Counselling, study information and stuff like that are actually very often available in Spanish in both short and long terms centers which deliver inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but people actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many men and women face. In addition, rehab programs will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present any other kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation program that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug treatment programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare 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 aren't a choice. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only inside the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some form of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug treatment facilities. Individuals may have to participate in a drug treatment center that's within their network of providers and there may be other limitations including the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select an excellent program they prefer and meet with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain substance abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs and also partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some restrictions as to just how long a stay in inpatient drug treatment is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before you start rehabilitation so that it's clear just how long and individual can remain in the treatment facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option available from numerous alcohol and drug treatment programs in an effort to help clients pay for rehab where this might not have been possible originally. By way of example, one client's price for rehab could be different and less than somebody else whose financial situation is better which makes them better able to spend the money for full expense of treatment. Registrars take into account other factors apart from income including amount of dependents to determine the final cost and using the sliding scale.
