Drug Addiction Facts

  • Methadone is also used to detoxify heroin addicts, not just as a "maintenance option", although studies show that most heroin addicts who detox using Methadone or any other method will eventually return to heroin use.
  • Like any intravenous drug users, heroin users who inject the drug risk exposing themselves to the immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B and C, and other serious types of blood-borne viruses.
  • The specific cardiovascular problems which may be caused by prescription stimulants have been highlighted in the FDA's "black box" warnings which include the risk of heart defects, heart attacks, stroke, high blood pressure, increased heart rate, and sudden death in people with a prior history of heart related problems.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services regarding level of care, since the individual can keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehab program while receiving treatment services. Although this may seem perfect it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many people in recovery require to have a productive rehab.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use because of the problems their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the issue is often difficult among the hearing impaired, there are ASL along with other assistance services intended for them when drug abuse rehab is necessary. Other than ASL, such services may include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are receiving the support they need in drug and alcohol rehab.

Spanish

Not all drug treatment programs possess the staff or wherewithal to focus on the demands of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately there are more and more programs that can do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than any other time. Counselling, study data and the like are now very often accessible in Spanish in both long and short terms facilities which deliver inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but individuals really have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can select whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many people face. Likewise, rehab facilities will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present any other form of private health care insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals may want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehabilitation program that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug and alcohol treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in setting up the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might be eligible for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only within the state which provides the insurance.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility provided by numerous alcohol and drug rehab facilities in an effort to help individuals afford treatment where this might not have been doable originally. For instance, one client's fee for rehabilitation could possibly be different and less than another person whose finances are better making them more prepared to pay for the full cost of rehab. Registrars take into account variables aside from income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost and using the sliding scale.
