Drug Addiction Facts

  • Fentanyl is available as oral lozenges, commonly referred to as the fentanyl "lollipops", effervescent tablets, transdermal patches, and injectable formulations.
  • Separated and divorced men and women are three times as likely as married men and women to say they had been married to an alcoholic or problem drinker.
  • Heroin addiction can develop very easily, due to the fact that individuals who become dependent to it and who stop using the drug abruptly experience painful and often debilitating withdrawal symptoms which muscle and bone pain, vomiting, extreme-flu like symptoms, profuse sweating, restlessness and other seemingly unbearable symptoms.

Spanish

Not all drug rehabilitation centers possess the staff or wherewithal to focus on the demands of Spanish speaking clients, but thankfully there are more and more facilities that are able to do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than previously. Therapy, study information and so on are now frequently obtainable in Spanish in both long and short terms programs which deliver inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't pay for the total cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but people actually have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. In addition, treatment centers will usually 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 some other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals may want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehab center that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab program.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only in the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some sort of alcohol and drug treatment service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers. Individuals might have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility that's inside their network of providers and there may be other restrictions such as how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a quality facility they like and speak with a rehab specialist to find out if their insurance covers it.
