Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a number of settings with different rehab lengths and plans to suit the varying demands of clients with any sort of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being included in many insurance companies, there is no need to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

Detoxification

Detoxification from alcohol and drugs is a course of action which can be made a lot more manageable and safely supervised when in a proper detoxification or alcohol and drug treatment program. Often detoxification isn't risk-free, and even with good intentions people who go through detoxification independently in an effort to get sober might really be putting their health as well as their lives at risk. It is always best to seek detoxification solutions in a professional center in order to avoid such dangers as well as have a smooth transition from detoxification to treatment in a top quality drug rehab program.

Methadone Detoxification

It isn't uncommon for individuals who turn to methadone as a strategy to heroin or prescription opioid addiction to find that they're now hooked on methadone. To get off of methadone can be extremely challenging, because withdrawal symptoms are typically a whole lot worse compared to those experienced with heroin. Methadone detoxification can be undergone inside a detoxification facility however such symptoms can be made more manageable and thus that there's less chance of relapse so that the person can be off of all drugs once and for all.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anybody who should be safely managed through detox services when heavily addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, or who wants a broader spectrum of care such as somebody who has a dual diagnosis and also needs mental health solutions during their treatment process. You'll find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services offered.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but people actually have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many people face. Likewise, rehab centers will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present any other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may choose to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehab facility which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug and alcohol rehab programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in setting up the individual's rehab strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some form of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities. Individuals could have to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment facility that's within their network of providers and there may be other limitations such as just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a good facility they like and consult with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance will handle it.
