Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in several settings with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to accommodate the various needs of clients with any kind of and level of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential centers now being paid by many insurance companies, you don't have to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions regarding intensity of care, because the individual can preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to be in a rehabilitation program while undergoing rehab services. While this might seem perfect it will not provide the much needed change of environment than many individuals in rehabilitation have to have to have a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug use problems are what are known in the field of alcohol and drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must handle both disorders during treatment to find resolution because one typically triggers the other. Luckily, there are several drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs who can specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face to be able to not simply become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Women

Women require quality rehabilitation in rehab but can also require particular focus on the unique challenges they face for their gender. Women and men not only face different and distinctive challenges in daily life because of gender, but also may abuse alcohol and drugs for unique reasons. drug and alcohol treatment facilities which appeal to women and the specific and unique needs that women encounter can help significantly on the women's road to long term sobriety and a higher quality of life.

Men

Just as men and women encounter varying and unique challenges in life that happen to be specific to their gender, men and women may also encounter distinctive challenges in rehabilitation which are gender specific, which is the reason a program designed specifically with these unique needs and challenges in mind can be quite helpful for someone searching for an effective rehabilitation option.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders in many cases are given the option or ordered to treatment as a term of their sentencing. Often times, the offender can choose which rehab program they would like to enroll in. When successfully completed, DUI and DWI offenders benefit from reduced sentencing options so that they can move forward in their lives without getting penalized any further.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients get into rehab due to a court order to fulfill a part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehab frequently receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when cooperating with alcohol and drug rehab requirements enforced on them as part of sentencing specifically of course when successfully graduating a drug and alcohol treatment facility.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but individuals in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, rehabilitation facilities will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present some other form of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation center which will get better results, like a long-term residential drug rehabilitation center.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only within the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some type of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab facilities. Individuals could have to take part in a drug treatment facility which is in their network of providers and there could be other limitations such as how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a quality center they prefer and speak with a treatment specialist to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option available from a number of alcohol and drug treatment programs in an effort to help clients afford treatment where this might not have been doable initially. For instance, one client's fee for rehabilitation could be different and less than someone else whose finances are better making them more prepared to spend the money for full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars consider variables besides income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
