Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to intensity of care, as the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to be in a treatment center while undergoing rehab services. Even though this may appear perfect it may not provide the required change of surroundings than many people in rehab need to have a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders are what are known in the field of alcohol and drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must deal with both disorders whilst in rehab in order to find resolution simply because one usually exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are lots of alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities who can specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues face to be able to not only become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many individuals encounter. In addition, rehabilitation centers will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation facilities accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present another type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation program which will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug rehab program.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If a person doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they can check with 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 generally only within the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehab service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs. Individuals might have to participate in a drug rehab program that is in their network of providers and there might be other limitations for example just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a good center they prefer and speak with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance will handle it.
