Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in several settings with various rehab lengths and plans to accommodate the various demands of clients with any type of and amount of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being paid by many insurance companies, there is no need to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anybody who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions in terms of level of care, for the reason that individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to be in a treatment program while receiving rehab services. Even if this might seem perfect it may not provide the required change of surroundings than many people in recovery have to have to experience a successful rehab.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders in many cases are given the option or ordered to rehab as a term of their sentencing. Quite often, the offender can choose which treatment facility they wish to go to. Upon successful completion, DUI and DWI offenders can take advantage of decreased sentencing options in order to move ahead in their lives without having to be penalized any more.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but people really have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. In addition, rehabilitation programs will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present some other type of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehab facility that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehab center.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug and alcohol rehab facilities provide payment assistance to help individuals who might possibly not have sufficient resources to self pay for treatment or whose medical insurance won't provide coverage or full coverage for their stay. As an example, Sometimes insurance only pays for a short-term center when in fact a long-term program will likely be the more ideal choice. To find out what payment assistance can be available, for instance a sliding fee scale, seek advice from the facility for details.
