  • Serious side effects as a result of methamphetamine use which could be life threatening can include convulsions, dangerously high body temperature, stroke, cardiac arrhythmia, stomach cramps and shaking.
  • Alcohol kills more teenage males and young men than any other drug taken to affect mood and behavior including heroin, cocaine or marijuana.
  • Codeine withdrawal symptoms are similar to those experienced in heroin withdrawal, and typically start within 12-24 hours after the last dose and generally wean away within a week.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anyone that has to be safely managed through detoxification services when intensely dependent to alcohol and drugs, or who requires a better spectrum of care such as somebody who is dealing with a dual diagnosis so also requires mental health services during their treatment procedure. You can find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services accessible.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse because of the problems that their impairment impose on them. While detection of the issue can be difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and other assistance services designed for them when substance abuse rehab is required. Besides ASL, such services can include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are obtaining the support they require in alcohol and drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals really have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many individuals face. In addition, treatment centers will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present some other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality treatment center that will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in establishing the individual's treatment plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment 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 alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only in the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some form of drug and alcohol treatment service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab centers. Individuals might have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program that's in their network of providers and there can be other limitations including the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select an excellent facility they like and meet 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 particular drug abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some limitations about how much time a stay in inpatient drug treatment is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before beginning rehabilitation so that it is clear the length of time and individual can remain in the rehab program of preference.
