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 alcohol and drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must handle both disorders when it's in rehab in order to find resolution simply because one typically exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are many alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities that can specifically hone in on the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face to enable them to not only become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never want to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse due to challenges that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the issue can sometimes be difficult among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL and other assistance services readily available for them when drug abuse treatment is needed. Besides ASL, such services can include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are obtaining the help they require in alcohol and drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many individuals encounter. In addition, treatment facilities will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present another kind of private health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehab program that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation program.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug rehab service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab facilities. Individuals may have to participate in a drug rehabilitation program that's in their network of providers and there could be other limitations such as just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent facility they like and consult with a rehabilitation specialist to find out if their insurance covers it.
