Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab solutions in terms of level of care, because the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehabilitation program while receiving treatment services. Although this may seem ideal it might not provide the required change of atmosphere than many individuals in rehab need to experience a productive rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders are what are recognized in the field of alcohol and drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must handle both disorders during rehab in order to find resolution simply because one typically exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are several drug treatment centers who are able to specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues face to enable them to not only become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Seniors/Older Adults

Seniors and older adults who have a problem with drug use may have unique challenges they have to conquer when in treatment, which rehab specialists within the rehab they elect to be a part of must be keen of so that a full recovery is achievable. So for seniors and older adults, it is advisable to pick a rehab that is accustomed to helping seniors and older adults deal with the distinctive life and drug use problems that these clients face that might include a wider spectrum of solutions including health care and the like.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug treatment programs have the staff or wherewithal to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clientele, but luckily there are more and more facilities that are able to do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than previously. Therapy, study data and stuff like that are actually frequently obtainable in Spanish in both long and short terms programs which provide inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals really have a much more leverage due to the fact they can select whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehab programs will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present some other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to cover a more quality treatment center that will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with establishing the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through 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. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only within the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some form of alcohol and drug treatment service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab facilities. Individuals may have to take part in a drug rehabilitation facility which is within their network of providers and there can be other limitations including just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a quality facility they like and meet with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance will take care of it.
