Drug Addiction Facts

  • Fentanyl is an extremely dangerous substitute for heroin because it is much more potent than heroin, which often results in accidental overdoses and death as a result of respiratory depression.
  • A study of inpatient vs. outpatient alcohol rehabilitation found that, with everything else being equal, graduates of outpatient programs were 4 times more likely to be early treatment failures than inpatient clients. The same kind of results has been seen comparing inpatient and outpatient drug rehabilitation patients.
  • Alcohol is an irritant to the stomach and it is common for someone who drinks in excess to vomit which then puts the person in danger of choking on vomit.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in several settings along with different treatment lengths and plans to suit the varying demands of clients with any kind of and amount of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being included in many insurance companies, you don't have to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab solutions with regards to intensity of care, as the individual can preserve their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to remain in a rehab program while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even if this might seem ideal it might not provide the required change of surroundings than many people in rehab need to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders are what are known in the field of alcohol and drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must deal with both disorders during rehabilitation to find resolution due to the fact one often exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are lots of drug and alcohol rehab programs who are able to specifically hone in on the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues face in order to not merely become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never feel the need to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders in many cases are given the choice or ordered to rehab as part of sentencing. In many cases, the offender can choose which treatment facility they would like to go to. When successfully completed, DUI and DWI offenders benefit from reduced sentencing options in order to progress in their lives without having to be penalized any further.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients get into rehabilitation as part of a court ruling to meet a part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol treatment often receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when cooperating with drug and alcohol rehabilitation specifications enforced with them as part of sentencing specifically naturally when successfully graduating a drug and alcohol rehab facility.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't pay for the total cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but people actually have a much more leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, treatment programs will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities accept Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present some other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may want to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehab facility which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug and alcohol rehab facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in establishing the person's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab 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 rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they can 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 will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only within the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug and alcohol treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment programs. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug treatment program that is in their network of providers and there may be other limitations such as the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a good program they prefer and meet with a treatment counselor to determine if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some limitations as to the length of time a stay in inpatient drug rehab is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered before you begin treatment so that it is clear how much time and individual can stay in the treatment center of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option available from many different drug rehab centers in an effort to help clients pay for treatment where this might not have been doable originally. As an example, one client's price for rehab could be different and lower than another individual whose financial situation is better which makes them better able to pay the full cost of rehab. Registrars take into consideration other factors besides income including number of dependents to determine the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
