Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders are what are recognized in the field of alcohol and drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must handle both disorders when it's in rehab to find resolution because one often exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are numerous alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers who are able to specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face to be able to not only become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not want to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and substance abuse due to challenges their impairment impose on them.

Apart from ASL, such services may include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired people are receiving the help they require in alcohol and drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many individuals face. In addition, rehabilitation facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present some other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehab center that will produce better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug and alcohol rehab centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being paid for through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some type of alcohol and drug rehab service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers. Individuals may have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab center which is in their network of providers and there might be other restrictions like the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent center they like and consult with a rehabilitation specialist to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities and also partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative.
