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.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in several settings and with various treatment lengths and plans to accommodate the varying needs of clients with any type of and level of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being included in many insurance companies, there is no need to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who wants it.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are available to anyone that has to be safely managed through detoxification services when intensely addicted to drugs and alcohol, or who requires a better spectrum of care such as someone who has a dual diagnosis so also requires mental health services during their rehabilitation process. You'll find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services accessible.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but people in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. In addition, rehab facilities will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some treatment programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present some other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of facilities, and in this case 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 which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug rehab facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in setting up the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only inside the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some type of drug and alcohol rehab service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab facilities. Individuals could possibly have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center which is within their network of providers and there could be other restrictions like the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a good program they like and speak with a rehabilitation specialist to find out if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular substance abuse rehab solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to 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 consultant. There can be some limitations concerning the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered before you start rehabilitation so that it is clear how much time and individual can stay in the treatment facility of preference.
