Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services regarding level of care, because the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to remain in a treatment program while receiving rehabilitation services. While this may appear perfect it might not provide the required change of environment than many people in treatment have to have to have a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues are what are identified in the field of drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must tackle both disorders while in rehabilitation to find resolution because one typically exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are numerous drug rehab centers that can specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues face so that they can not only become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not feel the need to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and substance abuse because of the challenges that their impairment impose on them. While detection of this problem can often be hard among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL and other assistance services designed for them when substance abuse rehabilitation is needed. Other than ASL, such services might include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired folks are receiving the support they require in alcohol and drug treatment.

Spanish

Not all drug rehabilitation centers possess the staff or resources to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clients, but luckily there are more and more facilities that can do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than previously. Therapy, study information and so on are actually very often available in Spanish in both short and long terms centers which deliver inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish treatment is also available around the country.

Other Languages

In each and every city in the U.S. there is someone struggling with drug use that isn't necessarily fluent in English, who may need rehab in whichever language it is they are fluent in to ensure that their needs can be catered to properly during treatment. Thankfully, there are numerous drug and alcohol rehab centers that have counselors within their facility who speak other languages to make alcohol and drug treatment the best experience possible for any individual. Simply discover a quality drug and alcohol rehab program and inquire if it is possible to receive rehabilitation in other languages.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but people in fact have a much more leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, treatment facilities will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present some other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of centers, and in such cases 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 that will produce better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug rehabilitation centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in setting up the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug and alcohol treatment service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment programs. Individuals may have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab center which is in their network of providers and there may be other limitations such as the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent facility they prefer and consult with a treatment 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 certain substance abuse treatment services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs in addition to partial hospitalization are all 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 could be some limitations concerning just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before beginning rehab so that it is clear how long and individual can stay in the treatment facility of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility available from numerous alcohol and drug rehab centers in an effort to help clients pay for treatment where this might not have been doable initially. For example, one client's fee for treatment may be different and another individual whose financial situation is better making them more prepared to spend the money for full price of treatment. Registrars consider additional factors apart from income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
