Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions regarding intensity of care, since the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to be in a rehabilitation program while undergoing rehabilitation services. While this might appear perfect it might not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than a lot of people in rehabilitation need to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues are what are known in the field of alcohol and drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must tackle both disorders when it's in rehabilitation to find resolution because one usually exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are lots of drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs who can specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face to be able to not simply become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse due to problems that their impairment impose on them. While detection of the issue can be hard among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL along with other assistance services designed for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is needed. Other than ASL, such services can include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are receiving the support they require in drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals really have a much more leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. Likewise, treatment programs will often provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present any other type of private health care insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehabilitation facility that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at alcohol and drug treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with setting up the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only in the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some form of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment facilities. Individuals could possibly have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program which is within their network of providers and there might be other restrictions for example the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a quality facility they prefer and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance covers it.

Military Insurance (E.G., Va, Tricare)

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain drug abuse rehab solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities and also partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some limitations as to just how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it is clear how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option offered by a variety of alcohol and drug rehab facilities in order to help clients pay for rehab where this might not have been doable initially. For example, one client's fee for treatment could possibly be different and another individual whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to pay for the full price of rehab. Registrars take into account additional factors in addition to income including number of dependents to determine the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
