Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab solutions in terms of intensity of care, because the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to stay in a treatment center while receiving treatment services. Even though this might seem ideal it might not provide the much needed change of environment than many people in recovery need to experience a successful rehabilitation.

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 individuals must handle both disorders when it's in rehab in order to find resolution due to the fact one typically exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are many alcohol and drug rehab programs who can specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face in order to not simply become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Gays and Lesbians

It is important that gays and lesbians obtain excellent treatment solutions within a rehabilitation setting which can be discreet and has rehab professionals at their disposal who comprehend the distinctive challenges they have to deal with in life. Because drug abuse for gays and lesbians might be triggered by the challenges they face because of their sexual preference, a facility that can help them resolve these issues and give them the peace of mind that they've lacked before arriving in rehabilitation can be quite a crucial aspect of treatment for gay and lesbian clients.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and substance abuse due to problems that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this problem can often be hard among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and other assistance services available for them when drug abuse treatment is needed. Aside from ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are receiving the support they need in drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals really have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. In addition, treatment programs will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present some other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehab center that will produce better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug treatment programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the person's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only in the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug treatment facilities. Individuals could have to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment center that is inside their network of providers and there may be other limitations including how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a quality facility they like and meet with a treatment counselor to determine if their insurance will handle it.
