  • Recent studies indicate that Ecstasy use significantly raises the user's risk for negative familial and societal impacts.
  • Codeine and is often added as an ingredient in cough syrups and tablets, and while in most countries it is available only with a prescription, it is available in some countries over the counter.

100% Confidential.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment services in terms of intensity of care, as the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to remain in a rehabilitation facility while undergoing rehabilitation services. While this may appear ideal it might not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many people in treatment require to have a productive rehab.

Gays and Lesbians

It is crucial that gays and lesbians receive excellent treatment services in a rehabilitation environment which is discreet and has rehab professionals available to them who understand the unique problems which they experience in life. Because substance abuse for gays and lesbians is sometimes triggered by the challenges they face because of their sexual preference, a rehab that can help them resolve these problems and give them the confidence that they've lacked before arriving in rehabilitation could be a crucial part of rehab for gay and lesbian clients.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and drug abuse due to the problems that their impairment impose on them. While detection of this issue can be difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and other assistance services intended for them when drug abuse rehab is necessary. Apart from ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are getting the support they need in alcohol and drug treatment.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities have the staff or wherewithal to cater to the demands of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately there are more and more centers that are able to do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than previously. Therapy, study data and so on are now frequently accessible in Spanish in both short and long terms programs which provide inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish treatment is available too nationwide.

Other Languages

In every city in the U.S. there is someone experiencing drug abuse that isn't necessarily fluent in English, who might require rehabilitation in whatever language it is they are fluent in to ensure that their needs may be met properly during treatment. Fortunately, there are numerous drug and alcohol treatment facilities who have counselors within their facility who speak other languages to make drug rehab the best experience possible for anyone. Simply locate a high quality alcohol and drug rehab program and find out if it is possible to receive treatment in other languages.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but individuals really have a much more leverage due to the fact they can select whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many individuals face. Likewise, rehab facilities will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation centers will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present any other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehab center that will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment center.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only inside the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some type of alcohol and drug rehab service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug treatment facilities. Individuals could have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program that is within their network of providers and there could be other limitations like just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent program they like and consult with a treatment specialist to find out if their insurance will handle it.
