Drug Addiction Facts

  • Cocaine is generally not taken by mouth for recreational purposes and it has been known to cause toxic reactions, including death, in people who swallow it to avoid police detection or border authorities.
  • Some addicts intentionally make the choice to use a form of heroin or cocaine which has been laced with fentanyl, in a desperate search for an increasingly better high.
  • Methamphetamine addicted individuals often develop sores on their bodies because they scratch at imaginary bugs they believe are crawling under their skin.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anyone who must be safely managed through detoxification services when intensely dependent to drugs, or who requires a broader spectrum of care such as somebody who is dealing with a dual diagnosis and also needs mental health solutions during their rehabilitation process. You'll find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services available.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services in terms of intensity of care, as the individual can keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to remain in a rehab facility while receiving treatment services. Although this may appear ideal it might not provide the required change of surroundings than many individuals in recovery have to have to experience a productive rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse problems are what are known in the field of drug and alcohol rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must handle both disorders during rehab in order to find resolution due to the fact one usually triggers the other. Luckily, there are lots of drug and alcohol rehab centers who are able to specifically hone in on the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders face to enable them to not just become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not want to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but people really have a great deal of leverage because they can choose whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many people face. Likewise, treatment facilities will often offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation centers will take Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present another form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehabilitation facility which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug rehab centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in establishing the person's treatment plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like 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 and alcohol rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only inside the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment facilities. Individuals could have to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment facility that is within their network of providers and there may be other limitations including the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a quality facility they prefer and speak with a rehabilitation specialist to determine if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain drug abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some limitations about just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered before you start treatment so that it is clear how long and individual can remain in the treatment facility of choice.
