Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to intensity of care, because the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to stay in a treatment facility while undergoing treatment services. Even if this may seem perfect it might not provide the required change of atmosphere than lots of people in recovery require to have a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems are what are recognized in the field of drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must deal with both disorders when it's in rehab in order to find resolution simply because one often exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are lots of alcohol and drug treatment programs that can specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face to be able to not merely become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not feel the need to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Criminal justice clients find their way into rehab as part of a court order to fulfill part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehab often receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when cooperating with alcohol and drug treatment requirements enforced on them in sentencing and particularly naturally when successfully graduating an alcohol and drug treatment facility.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse as a result of challenges that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL and also other assistance services readily available for them when substance abuse treatment is required. Other than ASL, such services may include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are getting the support they need in alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many individuals face. Likewise, rehab programs will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present any other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehab center which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug treatment centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with establishing the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like 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 can be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might qualify for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only inside the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug treatment centers. Individuals may have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab center that's in their network of providers and there could be other limitations including just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a quality program they like and consult with a treatment specialist to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility offered by a number of alcohol and drug treatment centers in an effort to help individuals pay for rehabilitation where this may not have been doable originally. For instance, one client's fee for treatment could be different and another person whose financial situation is better which makes them better able to spend the money for full expense of rehabilitation. Registrars take into consideration additional circumstances besides income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug rehab centers offer payment assistance to help individuals who might possibly not have enough funds to self pay for treatment or whose medical insurance won't provide coverage or total 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 suitable selection. To see what payment assistance can be available, say for example a sliding fee scale, check with the program for details.
