Drug Addiction Facts

  • Inpatient treatment programs often require the patient to live at the center fulltime for a fixed period of time after the withdrawal phase is complete, typically 1, 2 or 3 months.
  • Prescription stimulants can increase blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature, and when used at high doses can cause serious cardiovascular complications, including stroke.
  • Prolonged exposure to alcohol can erode the stomach lining and cause chronic blood seepage into the stomach.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions regarding intensity of care, because the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a rehab program while receiving treatment services. While this might seem ideal it will not provide the much needed change of environment than many individuals in treatment need to have a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders are what are recognized in the field of alcohol and drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must tackle both disorders whilst in rehabilitation in order to find resolution because one typically triggers the other. Luckily, there are many drug and alcohol treatment programs who can specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders face to enable them to not simply become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not consider it wise to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse as a result of problems that their impairment impose on them. While detection of this issue is often difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL as well as other assistance services available for them when substance abuse treatment is needed. Aside from ASL, such services can include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are receiving the support they require in alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol treatment programs have the staff or resources to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately there are more and more facilities that can do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Counselling, study data and stuff like that are now very often accessible in Spanish in both long and short terms centers which deliver inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish treatment is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. In addition, rehabilitation facilities will often provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

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 forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only within the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehab service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment programs. Individuals may have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab facility that's in their network of providers and there might be other limitations like just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a good program they prefer and speak with a treatment counselor to determine if their insurance covers it.
