Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to intensity of care, for the reason that individual can maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to remain in a rehabilitation facility while undergoing rehab services. While this may seem ideal it will not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many individuals in recovery need to experience a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders are what are known in the field of alcohol and drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must handle both disorders during rehabilitation to find resolution because one usually exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are many alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs who are able to specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face to be able to not only become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never wish to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a much more leverage due to the fact they can select whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many men and women face. Likewise, rehab centers will often provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present another kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehab facility that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the program 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 rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to 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 may be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could qualify for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some form of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment centers. Individuals may have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab facility that's within their network of providers and there may be other restrictions such as just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a good center they prefer and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.
