Drug Addiction Facts

  • Alcohol binge drinkers are 14 times more likely to report alcohol-impaired driving than non-binge drinkers.
  • Codeine overdose can cause respiratory depression and other severe adverse reactions including heart failure, heart attack, pulmonary failure, liver or kidney failure, jaundice, amnesia, seizures, blackouts, and coma.
  • 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.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions regarding level of care, as the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to be in a treatment facility while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even though this might appear perfect it may not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than lots of people in treatment need to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems are what are recognized in the field of drug and alcohol treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must deal with both disorders whilst in treatment in order to find resolution due to the fact one usually triggers the other. Fortunately, there are many alcohol and drug rehab centers that can specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders face to enable them to not just become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Spanish

Not all drug rehab facilities have the staff or resources to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clientele, but luckily there are more and more facilities that are able to do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Counselling, study information and stuff like that are now very often obtainable in Spanish in both short and long terms programs which provide inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is available too nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but people in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, treatment centers will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present any other type of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation program that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in establishing the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might be eligible for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some kind of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab centers. Individuals could have to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment facility that's within their network of providers and there can be other restrictions such as how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select an excellent center they like and meet with a treatment specialist to find out if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain substance abuse rehab services. 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 can be some limitations as to the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehab so that it's clear the length of time and individual can stay in the treatment program of choice.
