Drug Addiction Facts

  • Many individuals report taking up heroin use as an alternative to prescription drugs because it is cheaper and easier to obtain than prescription opioids.
  • Heroin overdoses and overdose deaths are increasing in many areas of the country, due to high heroin purity, heroin at street level which is laced with other opioids such as fentanyl, increasing numbers of heroin abusers initiating use at a younger age, and inexperienced users switching from prescription opioids to heroin.
  • Inpatient substance treatment facilities see much higher success rates than the alternative outpatient treatments, and inpatients usually undergo the process of detox.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are available to anybody that has to be safely managed through detoxification services when intensely addicted to drugs and alcohol, or who needs a better spectrum of care such as someone who is dealing with a dual diagnosis and also requires mental health solutions as part of their rehabilitation procedure. You can find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services accessible.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions regarding level of care, as the individual can preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to be in a rehab center while receiving rehab services. Even if this might appear ideal it might not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many people in rehabilitation require to experience a successful rehab.

Seniors/Older Adults

Seniors and older adults who struggle with drug use may have unique challenges they must conquer when in rehab, which treatment specialists within the facility they opt to take part in should be keen of to ensure that a full recovery is achievable. So for seniors and older adults, it is advisable to select a rehab which is familiar with helping seniors and older adults tackle the unique life and drug abuse issues that these clients face that might include a wider spectrum of solutions including medical care and so on.

Spanish

Not all drug treatment centers possess the staff or resources to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clients, but thankfully there are more and more centers that are able to do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Therapy, study information and stuff like that are actually very often available in Spanish in both short and long terms programs which provide inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available nationwide.

Other Languages

In every single city in the U.S. there is someone experiencing substance abuse that isn't necessarily fluent in English, who might need rehabilitation in whatever language it is they are fluent in so that their needs can be met properly whilst in rehab. Fortunately, there are many alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs that have counselors within their facility who speak other languages to make drug treatment the very best experience possible for anyone. Simply locate a quality alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility and inquire if it is feasible to receive rehabilitation in other languages.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but individuals really have a much more leverage because they can select whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present any other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals might want to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehab facility that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at alcohol and drug treatment programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in setting up the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab 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 drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If a person doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only in the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug treatment centers. Individuals may have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility that's within their network of providers and there could be other limitations like the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a good program they like and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain substance abuse rehab solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some limitations regarding just how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehab so that it is clear how long and individual can remain in the rehab facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility made available from a variety of drug and alcohol treatment centers to help help clients afford treatment where this may not have been possible initially. For instance, one client's fee for rehab could be different and another person whose financial situation is better which makes them better able to pay the full price of rehabilitation. Registrars consider additional circumstances 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 and alcohol rehab facilities offer payment assistance to help individuals who might not have adequate money to self pay for rehabilitation or whose medical insurance won't supply coverage or total coverage for their stay. For instance, Sometimes insurance only covers a short-term program when in fact a long-term facility will probably be the more suitable choice. To find out what payment assistance can be available, such as a sliding fee scale, check with the center for details.
