Drug Addiction Facts

  • Snorting or oral ingesting meth produces euphoria but not an intense rush such as that which is experienced through smoking or injecting the drug.
  • Prescription opioid pain medications such as Oxycontin and Vicodin can have effects similar to heroin, and statistics and studies indicate that abuse of these drugs may open the door to heroin abuse.
  • Inpatient admission rates to substance abuse treatment facilities for children of alcoholics are triple that of other children.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are available to anybody who needs to be safely managed through detox services when heavily addicted to drugs and alcohol, or who needs a broader spectrum of care such as somebody who has a dual diagnosis so also requires mental health services during their rehab procedure. You can find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services offered.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse due to problems that their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem is often hard among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and other assistance services available for them when substance abuse treatment is needed. Besides ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired people are receiving the support they require in drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but people actually have a much more leverage because they can select whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, treatment centers will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present another form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehab facility which will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug and alcohol treatment programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in establishing the person's treatment plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only in the state which offers 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 drug rehabilitation service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug treatment facility that's within their network of providers and there can be other limitations such as just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select an excellent program they like and consult with a rehabilitation specialist to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain drug abuse rehab solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There could be some limitations concerning how much time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehab is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered before beginning rehabilitation so that it is clear how much time and individual can stay in the treatment program of preference.
