Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services with regards to level of care, because the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehab center while undergoing rehab services. While this may seem ideal it might not provide the required change of atmosphere than many individuals in rehab have to have to experience a successful rehab.

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 and alcohol treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must address both disorders whilst in rehabilitation to find resolution because one usually triggers the other. Luckily, there are numerous drug rehabilitation centers who are able to specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders face to enable them to not just become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never consider it wise to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into rehabilitation due to a court ruling to fulfill a part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehab frequently receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when being cooperative with alcohol and drug treatment requirements enforced on them as part of sentencing specifically of course when successfully graduating a drug and alcohol treatment program.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and drug abuse due to the challenges their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem is often difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL as well as other assistance services intended for them when drug abuse treatment is needed. Besides ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are getting the help they need in alcohol and drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but people actually have a much more leverage because they can select whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women face. In addition, rehab centers will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present another type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehabilitation facility that will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation center.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some type of drug and alcohol treatment service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs. Individuals could have to participate in a drug rehab facility which is within their network of providers and there could be other limitations like just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select a quality facility they prefer and speak with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance covers it.
