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 lots of ways without the commitment of needing to be in a treatment program while receiving rehabilitation services. Even if this might seem ideal it may not provide the required change of environment than many people in rehab require 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 identified in the field of drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must address both disorders when it's in treatment in order to find resolution simply because one often triggers the other. Fortunately, there are lots of drug rehabilitation facilities who are able to specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders face in order to not simply become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never feel the need to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

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

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but people in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women face. In addition, rehab centers will often provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present any other kind of private health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehab center that will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in establishing the person's rehab strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other type 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 can be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If a person doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only inside the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some type of drug treatment service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehab facilities. Individuals might have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility that is inside their network of providers and there could be other restrictions for example the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent facility they like and consult with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular drug abuse treatment services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers in addition to partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some restrictions as to how much time a stay in inpatient drug rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before you begin treatment so that it is clear how long and individual can remain in the treatment center of choice.
