Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions regarding level of care, as the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation facility while receiving treatment services. Although this might appear perfect it may not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than a lot of people in treatment have to have to have a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues are what are recognized in the field of drug and alcohol rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must tackle both disorders when it's in rehabilitation to find resolution due to the fact one often exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are many drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers who can specifically address the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face to be able to not just become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not feel the need to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into treatment due to a court ruling to meet part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug treatment often receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when being cooperative with drug rehab specifications enforced on them as part of sentencing and particularly of course when successfully completing an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse due to problems that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the issue can sometimes be difficult among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL along with other assistance services readily available for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is needed. Aside from ASL, such services may include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired folks are receiving the support they require in drug and alcohol treatment.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities possess the staff or resources to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clientele, but luckily there are more and more centers that are able to do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than any other time. Therapy, study information and the like are now frequently available in Spanish in both long and short terms facilities which provide inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is available too around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but individuals actually have a much more leverage because they can select whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many individuals encounter. In addition, rehab facilities will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present some other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality treatment facility that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in setting up the person's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might qualify for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only inside 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 form of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab programs. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug rehabilitation program that's in their network of providers and there might be other limitations including just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a good program they like and speak with a rehab specialist to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility made available from a number of alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in order to help clients pay for rehab where this may not have been possible initially. For example, one client's price for rehabilitation may be different and less than somebody else whose finances are better which makes them better able to spend the money for full price of treatment. Registrars take into account other factors apart from income including number of dependents to ascertain the final cost and using the sliding scale.
