Commonly Asked Questions about Addiction and Treatment

The symptoms of alcoholism can vary among individuals but typically include a combination of physical, psychological, and behavioral signs. Some common symptoms include:

• Increased tolerance: A need for increasing amounts of alcohol to achieve the same desired effect, or experiencing diminished effects with continued use of the same amount.
• Withdrawal symptoms: Experiencing physical and psychological symptoms when not drinking, such as tremors, sweating, nausea, anxiety, irritability, or insomnia.
• Loss of control: An inability to limit alcohol consumption, often drinking more or for a longer period than intended.
• Neglect of responsibilities: Failing to fulfill work, school, or family obligations due to alcohol use.
• Social isolation: Withdrawing from social activities or hobbies once enjoyed, in favor of drinking.
• Continued use despite consequences: Continuing to consume alcohol despite negative consequences, such as relationship problems, health issues, or legal troubles.
• Cravings: Experiencing strong urges or cravings to drink alcohol.
• Unsuccessful attempts to quit: Repeated attempts to cut down or quit drinking, without success.
• Risky behavior: Engaging in risky behaviors while under the influence of alcohol, such as driving, operating machinery, or engaging in unprotected sex.
• Time spent on alcohol: Spending a significant amount of time obtaining, consuming, or recovering from the effects of alcohol.
• Physical dependence: Developing a physiological reliance on alcohol, leading to withdrawal symptoms when alcohol consumption is reduced or stopped.
• Neglect of self-care: Neglecting personal hygiene, nutrition, or overall well-being as a result of alcohol use.

What are the symptoms of opioid addiction?

Opioid addiction is a chronic condition characterized by compulsive use of opioids despite harmful consequences. Recognizing the symptoms of opioid addiction can help in providing timely intervention and support for the affected individual. Some common symptoms of opioid addiction include:

• Physical symptoms: Opioid addiction can cause various physical symptoms, such as constricted pupils, drowsiness, slowed breathing, constipation, and itching. The person may also exhibit signs of intoxication, like slurred speech and impaired coordination.
• Behavioral changes: Opioid addiction can lead to changes in behavior, such as increased secrecy, social withdrawal, mood swings, and unexplained absences. The person may neglect personal hygiene, appearance, or responsibilities in favor of obtaining and using opioids.
• Tolerance and withdrawal: Over time, individuals with opioid addiction may develop a tolerance, requiring higher doses or more frequent use to achieve the desired effects. If the person stops using opioids, they may experience withdrawal symptoms, such as restlessness, muscle and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea, vomiting, and cold flashes with goosebumps.
• Loss of control: A key symptom of opioid addiction is the inability to control opioid use, even when the person wants to stop. They may spend an excessive amount of time and resources obtaining, using, or recovering from the effects of opioids.
• Continued use despite negative consequences: Individuals with opioid addiction often continue using opioids despite experiencing negative consequences, such as health problems, relationship issues, financial difficulties, or legal troubles.
• Preoccupation with opioids: Opioid addiction can lead to a preoccupation with the drug, resulting in the person prioritizing opioid use over other aspects of their life, including personal relationships, work, or hobbies.
• Risk-taking behaviors: Opioid addiction can lead to increased risk-taking behaviors, such as using opioids in dangerous situations, sharing needles, or engaging in criminal activities to obtain the drug.
• Neglecting relationships: Opioid addiction can strain personal relationships, as the person may prioritize their opioid use over their connections with friends and family.
• Changes in sleep patterns: Opioid use can disrupt sleep patterns, causing the person to experience insomnia or excessive sleepiness.
• Cravings: Individuals with opioid addiction may experience strong cravings for opioids, often leading to compulsive drug-seeking behaviors.

Will insurance companies pay for substance abuse treatment?

Yes, many insurance companies do provide coverage for substance abuse treatment, but the extent and specifics of the coverage can vary widely depending on the individual insurance policy and the provider.

This coverage is largely due to the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 in the United States, which requires health insurers and group health plans to provide the same level of benefits for mental and/or substance use treatment and services that they do for medical/surgical care.

Here's a closer look at some key aspects:

Types of Treatment Covered: Many insurance policies cover a range of substance abuse treatments, including detoxification, inpatient rehab, outpatient rehab, medication-assisted treatment, and ongoing counseling or therapy. However, the specific treatments covered will depend on your particular insurance policy.

Co-Pays and Deductibles: Even if an insurance policy covers substance abuse treatment, you may still be responsible for co-pays, deductibles, or coinsurance. These costs can vary depending on the specifics of your insurance plan.

Network Restrictions: Some insurance plans may only cover treatment provided by certain providers or facilities within their network. It's important to check with your insurance company to determine which providers are covered under your plan.

Preauthorization: Some insurance plans require preauthorization for certain types of substance abuse treatment. This means that the treatment must be approved by the insurance company before they will cover the cost.

Duration of Coverage: The duration of coverage for substance abuse treatment can vary. Some insurance plans may only cover a certain number of days of inpatient treatment or a certain number of therapy sessions, for example.

Affordable Care Act (ACA): Under the ACA, all health insurance plans sold on Health Insurance Exchanges must cover substance use disorder services.
