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.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anybody that has to be safely managed through detoxification services when heavily addicted to drugs, or who needs a better spectrum of care such as someone who is dealing with a dual diagnosis and also needs mental health solutions during their treatment procedure. You'll find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services offered.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services in terms of intensity of care, since the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to remain in a rehabilitation facility while receiving treatment services. Although this might seem perfect it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many individuals in treatment need to have a successful rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol rehab centers possess the staff or wherewithal to focus on the needs of Spanish speaking clients, but luckily there are more and more facilities that can do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Therapy, study data and so on are now frequently available in Spanish in both long and short terms centers which provide inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't cover the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but people in fact have a great deal of leverage because they can choose whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehab centers accept Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present another type of private health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality treatment center which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug rehab facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab 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 setting up the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through 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.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only in the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some type of drug rehabilitation service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals might have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab center that's inside their network of providers and there can be other limitations like the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a quality facility they like and consult with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance will take care of it.
