      Commonly Asked Questions about Addiction and Treatment


      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 are substance abuse factors for lgbtq+ individuals?

      Substance abuse among LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and others) individuals is influenced by a range of factors. These factors often intersect and can compound the risk for developing substance use disorders. Some of the primary factors include:

      • Minority Stress: Minority stress refers to the additional stressors experienced by marginalized groups, such as LGBTQ+ individuals. This includes experiences of discrimination, stigma, harassment, and violence due to their sexual orientation or gender identity. This chronic stress can contribute to increased substance use as a coping mechanism.
      • Mental Health: LGBTQ+ individuals are at a higher risk for certain mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. These mental health conditions can increase the risk of substance use and substance use disorders.
      • Social Isolation and Rejection: The process of coming out to family and friends can sometimes result in rejection or loss of social support. This isolation and rejection can increase feelings of loneliness and despair, which may contribute to substance use.
      • Internalized Homophobia or Transphobia: Internalized homophobia or transphobia refers to negative feelings, beliefs, and biases about one's own sexual orientation or gender identity. This internalized stigma can lead to lower self-esteem and increased risk of substance abuse.
      • Lack of Access to Culturally Competent Healthcare: Many healthcare providers lack training in LGBTQ+ health issues, including substance use disorders, leading to barriers in access to effective, culturally competent treatment.
      • Social Environments and Norms: Certain LGBTQ+ social settings, such as bars or clubs, often center around alcohol or other substance use, which may normalize and facilitate substance abuse.
      • Trauma: LGBTQ+ individuals experience higher rates of certain types of trauma, such as physical or sexual abuse, hate crimes, or bullying, which can increase the risk of substance use disorders.

      What does fentanyl do to a person?

      Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid pain reliever that is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. It's typically used to treat severe pain, especially after surgery, or to manage pain in individuals with chronic illnesses who have developed a tolerance to other opioids.

      When used under medical supervision, fentanyl can effectively relieve pain. However, when used illicitly or without a prescription, it can have severe, and even fatal, effects. Here's what fentanyl can do to a person:

      Physical Effects: In the short term, fentanyl can induce feelings of relaxation, euphoria, and decreased perception of pain. However, it also slows breathing and can lead to unconsciousness or death from respiratory failure, particularly in high doses or when combined with other substances that depress the central nervous system.

      Dependency and Addiction: Fentanyl is highly addictive. Regular use can lead to physical dependence, where the body requires the drug to function normally, and psychological addiction, where a person feels a compulsive need to use the drug despite its harmful consequences.

      Overdose Risk: Due to its potency, the risk of overdose with fentanyl is high, especially if a person mistakenly believes they're taking a less potent opioid, as illicit fentanyl is often mixed with other drugs. Overdose can lead to severe respiratory depression, unconsciousness, and death.

      Withdrawal: Once a person becomes dependent on fentanyl, stopping its use can result in withdrawal symptoms. These can include muscle and bone pain, sleep problems, diarrhea, vomiting, cold flashes, and uncontrollable leg movements.

      Long-Term Health Effects: Chronic fentanyl use can lead to an array of health problems, including severe constipation, increased sensitivity to pain, confusion, depression, and increased risk of infections due to needle sharing (if injected).

      Due to its potency and high risk of overdose, non-medical use of fentanyl is extremely dangerous. If you or someone you know is struggling with fentanyl or other opioid use, it's crucial to seek professional help immediately.
