Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment solutions regarding intensity of care, since the individual can maintain their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to be in a treatment center while receiving rehabilitation services. Even though this might appear perfect it will not provide the required change of surroundings than many individuals in rehab have to have to have a productive rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems are what are identified in the field of drug and alcohol treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must handle both disorders while in treatment to find resolution because one often exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are numerous drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs that can specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues face in order to not just become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never wish to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use due to challenges their impairment impose on them. While detection of this problem can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, there are ASL and also other assistance services intended for them when substance abuse rehabilitation is necessary. Other than ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are obtaining the support they require in drug and alcohol rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but individuals really have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, treatment facilities will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation facilities accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present some other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehabilitation facility which will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in setting up the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some type of drug rehabilitation service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug treatment programs. Individuals may have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab center which is within their network of providers and there might be other restrictions for example the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a good facility they prefer and consult with a rehabilitation specialist to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain drug abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs in addition to partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some limitations concerning the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehab is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before beginning rehabilitation so that it is clear just how long and individual can remain in the treatment facility of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility offered by a number of drug rehabilitation programs to help help clients afford rehabilitation where this might not have been possible originally. As an example, one client's price for treatment may be different and lower than another person whose financial situation is better which makes them more prepared to pay the full expense of treatment. Registrars take into consideration variables aside from income including amount of dependents to determine the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
