Drug Addiction Facts

  • Individuals taking part in a methadone maintenance program will get a "take home" dose on the weekend, because many centers are not open on Sundays.
  • Withdrawing from Fentanyl is very similar to that of heroin and it can be very uncomfortable and painful.
  • When fentanyl binds to opioid receptors this in turn elevates dopamine levels in the brain's reward areas, which then produces a state of euphoria and relaxation.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a variety of settings and with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to accommodate the varying needs of clients with any kind of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential centers now being covered by many insurance plans, there is no need to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anybody who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of level of care, since the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehab center while undergoing treatment services. While this might seem perfect it will not provide the required change of environment than many people in recovery require to experience a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders are what are known in the field of drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must address both disorders when it's in treatment to find resolution simply because one usually exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are several alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs who are able to specifically hone in on the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues face in order to not simply become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not want to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol treatment facilities have the staff or wherewithal to focus on the needs of Spanish speaking clientele, but fortunately there are more and more centers that are able to do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than any other time. Therapy, study info and the like are now very often accessible in Spanish in both long and short terms programs which provide inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehab is available too nationwide.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present any other form of private health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehab center which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehabilitation facility.
