Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab services in terms of level of care, because the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to remain in a rehab program while receiving treatment services. While this might seem ideal it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many people in rehabilitation need to have a productive rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol treatment centers have the staff or wherewithal to focus on the needs of Spanish speaking clientele, but luckily there are more and more facilities that can do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Counselling, study information and the like are actually very often obtainable in Spanish in both long and short terms centers which deliver inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is available too nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many individuals face. In addition, treatment facilities will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only in the state which provides the insurance.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option provided by a number of alcohol and drug treatment programs in order to help individuals pay for treatment where this may not have been possible initially. For instance, one client's fee for treatment could possibly be different and lower than somebody else whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to spend the money for full cost of rehab. Registrars take into account variables apart from income including number of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.
