Drug Addiction Facts

  • Because drug purity is always in question, both experienced and new heroin users have the same risk overdosing on heroin.
  • Inpatient rehab treatment programs last a minimum of twenty-eight days. Patients voluntarily enter a safe, secure center in which intensive drug/alcohol treatment programs are the foundation of the patient's daily activities.
  • There are some indications that marijuana products called "spice" may carry more health risks than regular marijuana.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services in terms of level of care, since the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to remain in a rehab program while receiving rehab services. Even though this might seem ideal it may not provide the much needed change of environment than lots of people in rehab require to have a productive rehab.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse due to problems that their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem is often difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and other assistance services intended for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is needed. Aside from ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are obtaining the help they require in drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but people actually have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women face. In addition, treatment programs will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers will take Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present another kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation center that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug rehab programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in setting up the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other kind 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 treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If someone has no 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 figure out if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only in the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment programs. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug treatment center that is within their network of providers and there can be other restrictions such as how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent facility they like and speak with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain drug abuse treatment solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs in addition to 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 representative. There could be some limitations as to just how long a stay in inpatient drug rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before you start rehabilitation so that it is clear how long and individual can remain in the rehab program of choice.
