Commonly Asked Questions about Addiction and Treatment

How do I know if a long term drug rehab is right for me?

Deciding on the right form of treatment for drug addiction is a highly personal decision, and it depends on a variety of factors. Here are some key considerations to help you determine if long-term drug rehab might be the right choice for you:

• Severity and Duration of Addiction: If you've been struggling with addiction for a long time, or if your substance use is severe, long-term rehab might be the most effective option. This is because it provides a more extended period of structured support and therapy, which can be beneficial in breaking longstanding patterns of substance use.
• Previous Treatment Attempts: If you've attempted shorter treatment programs in the past and haven't been successful in maintaining sobriety, a longer-term program could be more beneficial.
• Co-occurring Disorders: If you're dealing with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorders �'' such as addiction along with depression, anxiety, or another mental health condition �'' a long-term rehab program can provide the comprehensive care needed to address both issues concurrently.
• Support at Home: If your home environment is not conducive to recovery �'' for instance, if there are other substance users in the home, or if it's a high-stress environment �'' a long-term rehab facility can provide a safer, more supportive environment for recovery.
• Physical Dependence: If you've developed a physical dependence on a substance, particularly if withdrawal symptoms are severe or potentially dangerous, a long-term rehab program can provide the medical supervision necessary to ensure a safe detoxification process.
• Desire for a Comprehensive Approach: Long-term rehab programs typically offer a comprehensive approach to recovery, including medical care, therapy, skill-building, and sometimes vocational training. If you're seeking a program that addresses multiple aspects of recovery, long-term rehab might be a good fit.

Remember, this decision should be made in consultation with healthcare professionals, such as a primary care physician, a psychiatrist, or an addiction specialist. They can provide an assessment of your situation and offer professional recommendations based on your specific needs and circumstances.

Is there Government assistance to pay for rehab?

Yes, in the United States, there are several forms of government assistance that can help pay for rehab.

Medicaid: Medicaid is a state and federal program that provides health coverage for some low-income people, families and children, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with disabilities. Many states' Medicaid programs provide coverage for a range of substance use disorder services, including detoxification, outpatient counseling, residential treatment, medication-assisted treatment, and more. The specific services covered and eligibility criteria can vary by state.

Medicare: Medicare, a federal program primarily for people age 65 and older, also provides coverage for some substance use disorder treatment. This can include inpatient rehab, outpatient treatment services, and medication-assisted treatment.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA): The ACA, also known as Obamacare, requires health insurance plans sold on the Health Insurance Marketplace to cover substance use disorder services. This means that individuals who purchase insurance through the Marketplace can access rehab services, often at a lower cost due to income-based subsidies.

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA): SAMHSA offers grants to states and organizations to provide treatment and recovery services for individuals with substance use disorders. Individuals may be able to access services funded by these grants at little or no cost.

State and Local Government Programs: Many states and localities have their own programs to help residents access substance use disorder treatment. These programs may offer direct funding for treatment, operate state-funded treatment facilities, or provide vouchers to pay for private treatment.

Veterans Affairs (VA): The VA provides a range of substance use disorder treatment services to eligible veterans, including detoxification, rehab, outpatient counseling, and medication-assisted treatment.

Indian Health Service (IHS): The IHS provides a comprehensive health service delivery system for approximately 2.6 million American Indians and Alaska Natives, including services for substance use disorders.

What is the purpose of drugs such as methadone, suboxone and subutex in the recovery process?

Methadone, Suboxone (a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone), and Subutex (buprenorphine) are medications used in Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorders. Their primary purpose in the recovery process is to help manage withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings, facilitating a safer, more comfortable transition to abstinence or long-term management of the disorder. Here's a more detailed look at how each of these medications function:

Methadone: Methadone is a long-acting opioid agonist, which means it activates the same receptors in the brain that other opioids like heroin, morphine, or prescription painkillers do. However, it does so more slowly and for a longer duration, without causing the intense euphoria associated with misuse of those drugs. This helps to mitigate withdrawal symptoms and cravings, enabling individuals to function more normally in daily life.

Suboxone: Suboxone contains two active ingredients: buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist, meaning it activates the opioid receptors in the brain, but to a lesser extent than full agonists like heroin or methadone. This can help manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms without producing the high associated with opioid misuse. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist, meaning it blocks the effects of opioids. It's included in Suboxone to discourage misuse of the medication; if someone tries to inject Suboxone, the naloxone will trigger withdrawal symptoms.

Subutex: Subutex is the brand name for buprenorphine alone. Like in Suboxone, buprenorphine in Subutex serves to lessen withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings. It is typically used in the initial stages of treatment, while Suboxone is more commonly used for maintenance.

These medications are typically used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that also includes counseling and behavioral therapies. It's important to note that while these medications can be highly effective in supporting recovery, they should be used under the guidance of a healthcare provider due to the risk of misuse and potential side effects. Each individual's treatment plan should be tailored to their unique needs and circumstances to ensure the best possible outcomes.
