  • Drug Overdose Facts
  • Fevers associated with drug withdrawal should be monitored closely to ensure that this is not the result of an underlying infection, which should be treated immediately.
  • Emergency room visits which were a result of the nonmedical use of pharmaceuticals (either alone or in combination with another drug) rose by over 98 percent between 2004 and 2009, from 627,291 visits to 1,244,679, respectively.
  • Inhalant use can cause a sense of euphoria, but it can also cause dizziness and make the user violently ill as well as numb in the upper and lower extremities.
  • Elderly drivers who drink heavily are at greater risk of a crash than elderly drivers without alcoholism after consuming an equivalent dose of alcohol.
  • Successfully treating a drug overdose can be significantly harder if the individual refuses to divulge what type of drugs have been taken. In many instances, trained medical personnel can determine the type of drug that has been used by observing the various symptoms that are exhibited by the patient.

Outpatient Treatment

Drug rehabilitation services which are provided on an outpatient basis are readily available to addicted people who have circumstances which prevent them from being able to take part in an inpatient rehab center. An outpatient substance abuse treatment program provides many of the same services as an inpatient program, but allows for flexibility as opposed to an inpatient drug or alcohol rehab facility where the person is expected to stay and reside at the treatment program until the treatment process is complete. Outpatient drug or alcohol treatment is also offered for those who have completed residential or inpatient treatment but also need a thorough aftercare program which will provide further support and therapy to help them avoid relapse.

Self Pay (Out of Pocket)

Self payment drug and alcohol rehab facilities are an excellent alternative to other types of rehab facilities i.e. private medical insurance and state funded programs. People who are capable of attending self payment programs pay for their entire rehab process out of pocket. Keep in mind though, this does not mean that they will not have access to financial assistance if needed. It just means that self payment is their primary method of covering the cost of their substance abuse treatment program. To learn more about self payment at a specific program, contact a substance abuse rehabilitation facility and inquire as to their payment options. It is a good idea to contact a number of facilities so that you have an understanding of your choices regarding treatment options and payment methods.

Private or Personal Health Insurance

When an individual is addicted to drugs or alcohol and is seeking help, many effective drug rehabilitation programs accept private health insurance. Whereas some outpatient and short term programs accept private health insurance, far more beneficial drug or alcohol treatment centers which provide an inpatient or residential stay for at least 90 days are also an available option. These rehab facilities which accept private health insurance can differ in terms of treatment curriculum, but those clients who are covered by private health insurance are fortunate enough to have financial assistance when it comes to attending a drug rehabilitation program. For additional information, speak with with an addiction specialist at a drug treatment facility in your area to see which services your private health insurance will cover.
