Drug Addiction Facts

  • Many young heroin users begin snorting or smoking the drug initially because they wish to avoid the social stigma associated with injection drug use.
  • Crystal meth is a more potent version of meth, and typically resembles small fragments of shiny white pebbles or rocks which can be smoked using glass pipes that are very similar to the pipes that are used to smoke crack cocaine.
  • Common additives used to cut cocaine are sugars, anesthetics and cornstarch but it is also sometimes cut with other illicit drugs, such as heroin, codeine, amphetamine, PCP, LSD, and hashish.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment solutions with regards to intensity of care, since the individual can preserve their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation program while undergoing rehab services. Even though this might seem perfect it may not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many individuals in recovery require to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems are what are known in the field of drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must deal with both disorders when it's in rehabilitation in order to find resolution because one usually triggers the other. Luckily, there are numerous drug and alcohol treatment programs that can specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues face in order to not just become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never wish to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but individuals in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, treatment facilities will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation facilities accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present another kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and drum 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 drug and alcohol treatment facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug rehabilitation centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might be eligible for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only in the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some type of alcohol and drug rehab service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehab facilities. Individuals could have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility that is within their network of providers and there may be other restrictions such as how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent center they prefer and meet with a rehabilitation specialist to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility available from a number of drug and alcohol treatment programs in order to help clients pay for treatment where this might not have been possible originally. As an example, one client's price for rehab could be different and another person whose finances are better making them better able to spend the money for full expense of treatment. Registrars take into account additional circumstances apart from income including number of dependents to ascertain the final cost and using the sliding scale.
