Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services regarding level of care, because the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to stay in a treatment program while undergoing treatment services. Even though this may seem ideal it may not provide the required change of atmosphere than many people in rehab require to have a successful rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehab centers have the staff or wherewithal to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clients, but thankfully there are more and more facilities that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than any other time. Counselling, study information and the like are now very often obtainable in Spanish in both short and long terms programs which deliver inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is available too nationwide.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular drug abuse rehab solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs and also partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some restrictions as to just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it's clear just how long and individual can remain in the rehab facility of preference.
