      Commonly Asked Questions about Addiction and Treatment


      Does Medicaid pay for a person to go to a drug rehab?

      Yes, Medicaid, the U.S. government's health insurance program for individuals with low income, does cover substance use disorder services, including drug rehabilitation. However, the specific services covered and the extent of coverage can vary from state to state, as Medicaid is a joint federal and state program.

      Commonly, Medicaid coverage can include services such as:

      Screening and assessment: This helps to determine the level of addiction and the most suitable treatment plan.

      Outpatient counseling: This can include individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy.

      Inpatient care: This includes residential treatment programs where individuals receive intensive care, usually for severe addictions.

      Medication-assisted treatment: Medications can be used to help manage withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, and treat any co-occurring mental health conditions.

      Follow-up care and long-term maintenance: This could include case management services, peer supports, and other recovery services.

      It's important to note that while Medicaid does cover drug rehabilitation services, there might be certain eligibility criteria to meet or pre-authorization requirements. Furthermore, not all treatment centers accept Medicaid, so it's crucial to check with the specific facility about their payment options.

      For the most accurate information, individuals should contact their state's Medicaid office or visit the official Medicaid website.


      Why do drug addicts do what they do?

      "People with substance use disorders engage in their behavior for various reasons, often complex and interconnected. Understanding these reasons is crucial to treating addiction. Here are some common factors:

      Pleasure Seeking: Drugs often produce intense feelings of pleasure, euphoria, or relief from pain. The initial high can be so powerful that individuals continue using the substance to experience that feeling again.

      Escape or Self-Medication: Many people use drugs as a way to escape from reality or cope with difficult feelings, trauma, stress, or mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD. Drugs can temporarily dull these feelings, but they do not address the root cause of the distress.

      Physical Dependence: Over time, the body can develop a physical dependence on the substance, requiring it to function normally. Without the substance, the individual may experience unpleasant or even life-threatening withdrawal symptoms.

      Psychological Dependence: Even after physical dependence is managed, psychological cravings can persist. The desire to use drugs can become a powerful mental urge that dominates a person's thoughts and behaviors.

      Peer Pressure or Social Influence: The influence of friends or social circles where drug use is common can encourage initial use or ongoing abuse of drugs.

      Genetic Factors and Early Exposure: Genetics can play a role in vulnerability to addiction, as can exposure to drugs at a young age or in the prenatal period.

      Lack of Coping Mechanisms: Without healthy coping strategies for life's stresses and challenges, some people turn to drugs as a way of dealing with these issues.

      Changes in Brain Function: Long-term substance use can lead to changes in the brain that result in increased cravings and decreased ability to resist drug use, despite harmful consequences.


      How to help an addict that refuses it?

      Helping a loved one who is struggling with addiction but refuses assistance can be a challenging and delicate situation. However, there are several approaches you can take:

      • Communication: Have an open, honest, and compassionate conversation about your concerns. Choose a time when they're sober and not in crisis. Avoid judgmental or confrontational language, instead focusing on expressing your feelings and concerns.
      • Educate Yourself: Understanding addiction as a disease can help you approach the situation with empathy. Learn about the science of addiction and the resources available for treatment.
      • Professional Intervention: An intervention is a structured conversation between the person with addiction and their loved ones, often facilitated by a professional interventionist. The goal is to help the person see the negative impact of their addiction on themselves and others and to encourage them to seek treatment.
      • Support Groups: Consider joining a support group for families and friends of individuals dealing with substance use disorders, such as Al-Anon or Nar-Anon. These groups can provide understanding, advice, and encouragement.
      • Setting Boundaries: It's crucial to establish boundaries to protect your own mental and physical wellbeing. Make it clear what behaviors you will not tolerate and follow through on consequences if those boundaries are crossed.
      • Encouragement: Continually encourage your loved one to seek professional help. Provide them with information about local resources, rehab facilities, or counseling services.
      • Self-Care: Don't forget to take care of your own mental and physical health. Seek professional help for yourself if necessary, and remember that it's okay to step back when you need to.
