Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab solutions with regards to level of care, since the individual can preserve their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to remain in a rehab program while receiving treatment services. Even though this might appear perfect it might not provide the much needed change of surroundings than a lot of people in treatment require to have a productive rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders are what are identified in the field of drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must handle both disorders during rehab to find resolution because one often exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are lots of drug and alcohol rehab facilities that can specifically address the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face to be able to not simply become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never want to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse due to the problems their impairment impose on them. While detection of the issue can sometimes be hard among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL as well as other assistance services available for them when substance abuse rehabilitation is necessary. Aside from ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired folks are getting the help they require in drug and alcohol rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but people really have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. In addition, rehabilitation programs will often provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present some other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation center which will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug and alcohol treatment programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab 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 rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might be eligible for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only inside the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some type of drug and alcohol rehab service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehab centers. Individuals could possibly have to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment facility that is in their network of providers and there could be other restrictions including how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a good facility they like and meet with a rehab counselor to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

Military Insurance (E.G., Va, Tricare)

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain substance abuse treatment solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some limitations regarding how much time a stay in inpatient drug treatment is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before beginning rehabilitation so that it is clear just how long and individual can remain in the rehabilitation program of preference.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug treatment centers provide payment assistance to help clients who may possibly not have sufficient resources to self pay for rehabilitation or whose health insurance won't provide coverage or total coverage for their stay. For instance, Sometimes insurance only covers a short-term center when in fact a long-term center will be the more appropriate option. To find out what payment assistance could be available, such as a sliding fee scale, seek advice from the program for details.
