Drug Addiction Facts

  • Because using heroin depresses the central nervous system, an individual's mental function can often become clouded.
  • When drugs like Ritalin and Adderall are prescribed in routine pediatric doses, they commonly cause hypertension, which can lead to an enlarged heart.
  • Prolonged alcohol use can also impair white blood cell function and making the abuser more susceptible to infection.

100% Confidential.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services in terms of intensity of care, as the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to remain in a rehabilitation facility while receiving rehab services. Although this may seem perfect it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many individuals in treatment have to have to have a successful rehab.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients get into treatment due to a court order to fulfill part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehab often receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when being cooperative with drug treatment requirements enforced with them in sentencing and also naturally when successfully completing a drug rehab center.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse because of the problems their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this problem is often hard among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL and other assistance services readily available for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is needed. Apart from ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired folks are obtaining the support they require in drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage because they can select whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. In addition, rehab centers will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers accept Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present another form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals may choose to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehab facility which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug rehab facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only within the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some form of alcohol and drug treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment facilities. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug rehab program that's within their network of providers and there can be other limitations such as just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a quality facility they prefer and speak with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular substance abuse rehab solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities and also partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some restrictions regarding the length of time a stay in inpatient drug treatment is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered before you start treatment so that it is clear just how long and individual can stay in the treatment program of preference.
