Watching Drug Addiction On Television

By Malwin Kye


If you have been watching hit television shows like 20/20 or the Discovery Channel, you may have witnessed many stories covering addiction. Drug and alcohol addiction has everyone on edge these days. Politicians are often telling us that addiction is affecting families from all walks of life. If you have a son or daughter that is addicted to drugs and alcohol, then you probably know exactly what I am talking about. Addiction today is mostly comprised of alcohol, heroin and crack. You will find that addiction has many faces to it. You will find that a lot of addicts prefer working alongside of someone that has gone through recovery themselves.

Treatment today is a complex system because of the changing healthcare epidemic that we have in billing these days. Treatment centers all across the USA are trying to understand why certain things are not happening. It is effective to have people negotiating their price of stay at a rehabilitation center. However, it is becoming extremely difficult to have a treatment center take your insurance. Television shows are beginning to show the realities of rehab.

All across the USA, medical billing companies are having a difficult time getting people into their programs. They often argue that it's because insurance companies are not covering alcohol and drug treatment effectively. If a person has an out of pocket deductible for $5,000, they often cannot go to rehab. The reason is because they don't have $5,000 in their bank account to pay for treatment. After all, most addicts are living on the streets and often stealing money from their family members. It is hard to imagine yourself being addicted and having no true foundation for treatment.

Television shows often like to tell you the story of the addict. They often showcase addicts on television that are going through a rough time emotionally. Perhaps they have turned to a life of drugs and alcoholism. They often don't tell you that they cannot get into rehab because they don't have the right medical insurance. Medical billers will tell you that addicts are often living on the streets because they cannot afford to get into a rehab program. Rehab takes time and lots of discipline. It takes a lot of strong effort to figure out how you can become drug and alcohol free. However, most insurances that people have do not pay for rehab.

Alcohol and drug addiction is often something that most people do not want to talk about. It is something that shames a lot of families. However, once the problem is dealt with, addicts often find it easier to put the pieces to the puzzle together. Life is often hard for addicts. When you watch them on television struggling with their addiction, it is hard and often painful. You can often see yourself jumping out of your chair to help them. However, the war on drugs is alive in America today. Millions of men and women suffer from addiction. The problem only seems to be getting worse. The country must come together and take a stand against drugs.
