Drug Addiction Facts

  • Animal studies indicate that animals will work more persistently at pressing a bar for cocaine than for any other drug, including opiates. In one example, one monkey test subject pressed the bar 12,800 times until it got a single dose of cocaine. If the animal survives in such studies, it will return to the task of obtaining more cocaine.
  • There is concern among pediatricians that using prescription stimulants on children may affect their development, and it is still unknown how these drugs biologically affect the developing brain.
  • Fentanyl oral lozenges and injectables are also commonly diverted and abused.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of level of care, as the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation facility while undergoing rehab services. Even if this might appear ideal it will not provide the required change of atmosphere than a lot of people in recovery have to have to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. In addition, rehab centers will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present some other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehabilitation center which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in establishing the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some sort of alcohol and drug treatment service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug treatment programs. Individuals could have to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment program which is within their network of providers and there might be other limitations including the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a quality center they like and meet with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance covers it.
