Drug Addiction Facts

  • Former and current heroin users describe the horrors of heroin addiction withdrawal as being far less painful and difficult than methadone withdrawal.
  • Methadone stays in the system as long as 59 hours, but only provides pain relief for up to 8 hours. Patients may need more pain relief before the drug is cleared from the body, and therefore administer another dose too soon resulting in toxic levels of the drug in the system which can lead to life-threatening changes in breathing and heart function.
  • Studies indicate that stress appears to increase the oxidative damage caused by Ecstasy in the brain.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a variety of settings with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to accommodate the various demands of clients with any kind of and degree of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being covered by many insurance plans, you don't have to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment services with regards to level of care, since the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to remain in a rehabilitation center while receiving rehab services. Even though this might appear ideal it may not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many people in treatment have to have to have a productive rehab.

Residential Short-Term Treatment (30 Days Or Less)

Residential short-term treatment for 30 days or less is an alternative which enables people in treatment to have the very much required change of environment required to have a shot at staying sober. Residential treatment is the premiere option because individuals can feel comfortable and at home while receiving services. Residential short-term rehabilitation for 30 days or less may not be prolonged enough for certain people with more serious addiction and dependency problems, and this should always be evaluated at the end of the 30 days to determine if more extensive rehab is required.

Residential Long-Term Treatment (More Than 30 Days)

Residential long-term rehab, which lasts for longer than 30 days, is definitely an option that provides the commensurate intensity of care and suitable environment for anybody fighting a life threatening addiction and dependency problem. Because individuals will remain in the residential long-term rehabilitation facility for about 3-6 months and even longer in some instances, these kinds of programs offer all of the amenities needed to help client's remain as relaxed and amenable as it could possibly be whilst providing high quality rehabilitation to assist them to conquer their habit forever.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders are often given the option or ordered to rehabilitation as a term of their sentencing. Often times, the offender can pick which rehab center they wish to enroll in. When successfully completed, DUI and DWI offenders benefit from reduced sentencing options to be able to progress in their lives without having to be penalized any more.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present any other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals might want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehab center that will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at alcohol and drug treatment centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in establishing the person's rehab plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only within the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some type of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehab centers. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility that's in their network of providers and there could be other limitations such as how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a quality facility they prefer and speak with a rehabilitation specialist to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain drug abuse rehab services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs in addition to partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some limitations concerning just how long a stay in inpatient drug treatment is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered prior to starting rehab so that it's clear how long and individual can remain in the treatment center of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option offered by numerous drug rehabilitation facilities in an effort to help clients pay for treatment where this may not have been doable initially. For example, one client's price for treatment might be different and someone else whose finances are better making them better able to spend the money for full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account additional factors apart from income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
