Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in many different settings and with various treatment lengths and plans to accommodate the various needs of clients with any sort of and degree of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being covered by many insurance companies, you don't have to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anybody who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment services with regards to intensity of care, as the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to stay in a treatment center while receiving rehabilitation services. Even if this may appear ideal it might not provide the required change of environment than many individuals in treatment require to have a productive rehabilitation.

Men

Similar to how men and women encounter varying and unique challenges in everyday life which can be specific to their gender, women and men might also encounter distinctive challenges in treatment that are gender specific, and that's why a center specifically designed with these special needs and challenges in mind can be extremely helpful for someone looking for an effective treatment solution.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders in many cases are given the possibility or ordered to rehab as a term of their sentencing. Quite often, the offender can choose which treatment program they wish to go to. Upon successful completion, DUI and DWI offenders benefit from decreased sentencing options to enable them to move ahead in their lives without getting penalized any more.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into rehabilitation due to a court ruling in order to meet part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation frequently receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when being cooperative with drug rehabilitation specifications enforced with them in sentencing and particularly naturally when successfully graduating a drug and alcohol rehab program.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers possess the staff or wherewithal to cater to the needs of Spanish speaking clientele, but fortunately there are more and more facilities that are able to do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Counselling, study data and stuff like that are now frequently obtainable in Spanish in both long and short terms facilities which deliver inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is available too nationwide.

Other Languages

In every city in the U.S. there's someone fighting drug abuse that isn't necessarily fluent in English, who might require treatment in whatever language it is they are fluent in so that their needs may be met properly whilst in rehab. Fortunately, there are lots of alcohol and drug rehab centers who have counselors on staff who speak other languages to make drug rehabilitation the best experience possible for anyone. Simply look for a top quality drug and alcohol rehab facility and inquire if it is feasible to receive rehab in other languages.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of treatment or will only cover some 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 want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people face. Likewise, treatment facilities will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present some other form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals might want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehabilitation center which will get better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug rehab programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in establishing the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation 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 drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only within 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 alcohol and drug rehabilitation service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment programs. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug rehab center that is inside their network of providers and there can be other limitations for example the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a good center they prefer and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance will handle it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option offered by numerous alcohol and drug treatment centers in an effort to help individuals afford rehabilitation where this may not have been doable originally. For example, one client's fee for rehab may be different and lower than another individual whose financial situation is better which makes them better able to pay for the full expense of treatment. Registrars take into account additional circumstances apart from income including amount of dependents to determine the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many alcohol and drug rehab centers provide payment assistance to help individuals who may not have enough funds to self pay for rehabilitation or whose health insurance won't provide coverage or full coverage for their stay. For example, Sometimes insurance only covers a short-term center when in fact a long-term program is going to be the more appropriate selection. To determine what payment assistance might be offered, say for example a sliding fee scale, seek advice from the facility for details.
