Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a variety of settings along with different treatment lengths and plans to accommodate the varying needs of clients with any sort of and amount of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential centers now being included in many insurance companies, you don't have to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab solutions with regards to intensity of care, since the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehab center while receiving treatment services. While this may appear ideal it may not provide the much needed change of environment than a lot of people in rehabilitation have to have to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders are what are recognized in the field of drug and alcohol rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must address both disorders while in rehabilitation to find resolution due to the fact one usually exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are several drug rehab centers who are able to specifically address the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face to be able to not only become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never feel the need to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Persons With HIV/AIDS

Persons with HIV/AIDS who may need substance abuse treatment will very often require solutions beyond what a standard alcohol and drug treatment facility will be able to provide. Because extensive healthcare services will often be an integral aspect of the physical process of healing for addicts with HIV/AIDS, who most likely have experienced a progression and worsening of the disease because of their addiction, it is crucial that these clients get the medical treatment needed along with any rehab services for his or her drug use problem.

Pregnant/Postpartum Women

Pregnant and postpartum women don't just require assistance from a quality rehab for their own health and wellbeing but also for the wellbeing of the unborn child or for the child they have given birth to who must be properly taken care of as they become rehabilitated and in turn capable of being a much better mother. Rehab opportunities exist which provide them and their child the appropriate wellness services whilst ensuring they receive the rehab they might need to become abstinent and be able to remain that way to become the best mother they can be.

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 situations, it may appear like a drawback but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can select whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, rehab facilities will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present any other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation center that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehabilitation program.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some type of alcohol and drug rehab service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab centers. Individuals could have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab facility that's within their network of providers and there may be other limitations such as the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select a quality facility they like and meet with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance will handle it.
