Drug Addiction Facts

  • Codeine is both physiologically and psychologically addictive, with chronic use and abuse resulting in a tolerance to its effects and a dependence on the drug.
  • The codeine concoction "Purple Drank", made popular by the hip hop community, has resulted in the deaths of several prominent users.
  • Withdrawal symptoms can make quitting fentanyl and other opiates almost impossible, especially when one attempts to do so on one's own.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a variety of settings along with various rehabilitation lengths and plans to accommodate the varying demands of clients with any type of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being paid by many insurance companies, there is no need to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who needs it.

Detoxification

Detoxification from alcohol and drugs is a course of action which can be made a lot more manageable and safely supervised when in a professional detoxification or alcohol and drug treatment center. Sometimes detoxification isn't risk free, and even with the very best of intentions individuals who proceed through detoxification on their own in an effort to get sober might really be putting their health as well as their lives in danger. It is usually advisable to seek out detoxification services in a professional center to avoid such dangers and also to have a smooth transition from detoxification to rehabilitation in a top quality drug and alcohol treatment facility.

Methadone Detoxification

It isn't uncommon for individuals who use methadone as an answer to heroin or prescription opioid addiction to find that they're now addicted to methadone. To get off of methadone can be quite challenging, because withdrawal symptoms are typically a whole lot worse than those experienced with heroin. Methadone detoxification can take place in a detoxification program however such symptoms can be made more manageable therefore that there's less probability of relapse so the person can be off of all drugs for good.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to level of care, for the reason that individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehab center while undergoing treatment services. Even if this may appear ideal it will not provide the required change of atmosphere than many individuals in recovery need to have a productive rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter. In addition, treatment programs will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities will take Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present another form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation center which will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation program.
