Drug Addiction Facts

  • Some individuals who abuse heroin or cocaine do not know the composition of what they buy on the street, which may be laced with a deadly dose of fentanyl.
  • Ritalin is actually more potent than cocaine in its effect on the areas of the brain which produce dopamine, the "reward" chemical that the brain produces.
  • Meth produces a high for 8?24 hours when smoked, as opposed to smoking cocaine which produces a high for approximately 20?30 minutes.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anyone that needs to be safely managed through detoxification services when intensely dependent to drugs, or who requires a broader spectrum of care such as someone who has a dual diagnosis so also needs mental health solutions as part of their rehab process. You'll find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services offered.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance won't cover the total cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation centers will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab centers accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present some other kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals might want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehabilitation center which will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug rehab programs which deliver 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 aid in setting up the person's rehab plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some kind of alcohol and drug rehab service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab programs. Individuals might have to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment center which is in their network of providers and there might be other limitations like just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a quality center they prefer and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain drug abuse rehab solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers in addition to partial hospitalization are all 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 can be some restrictions as to just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered prior to starting treatment so that it's clear how much time and individual can stay in the rehabilitation program of preference.
