Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab solutions regarding level of care, since the individual can maintain their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to remain in a rehabilitation program while receiving rehabilitation services. Even if this may seem perfect it might not provide the required change of surroundings than many individuals in treatment need to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues are what are known in the field of alcohol and drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must tackle both disorders during rehabilitation in order to find resolution simply because one usually exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are many drug rehabilitation centers that can specifically address the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues face to enable them to not merely become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse as a result of challenges that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the issue is often difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and also other assistance services designed for them when substance abuse rehab is needed. Besides ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired folks are obtaining the support they require in alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but people really have a much more leverage because they can select whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women encounter. In addition, rehab facilities will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present some other type of private health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality treatment center that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at alcohol and drug treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only within the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some form of drug rehab service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment programs. Individuals could have to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment program that is within their network of providers and there could be other limitations such as how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select an excellent program they like and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance covers it.

Military Insurance (E.G., Va, Tricare)

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain drug abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers and also partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some restrictions regarding how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it is clear how long and individual can stay in the treatment center of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility available from many different drug and alcohol rehab programs in order to help individuals afford rehabilitation where this may not have been doable originally. As an example, one client's fee for treatment could possibly be different and less than another individual whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to pay for the full price of rehabilitation. Registrars take into consideration additional circumstances in addition to income including amount of dependents to determine the final cost using the sliding scale.
