Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in several settings and with different rehab lengths and plans to suit the varying needs of clients with any kind of and amount of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being paid by many insurance plans, there is no need to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment services in terms of level of care, as the individual can maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to stay in a treatment facility while undergoing rehabilitation services. While this may appear perfect it may not provide the required change of surroundings than many individuals in recovery require to experience a successful rehab.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders are often given the option or ordered to rehabilitation as a term of their sentencing. Sometimes, the offender can pick which rehabilitation center they would like to attend. Upon successful completion, DUI and DWI offenders can take advantage of reduced sentencing options to enable them to move forward in their lives without getting penalized any further.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into rehab as part of a court order to fulfill a part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehabilitation often receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when cooperating with drug treatment requirements enforced with them as part of sentencing and particularly of course when successfully completing an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but people actually have a much more leverage simply because they can select whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many men and women face. In addition, treatment programs will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present some other form of private health care insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehab center which will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab facility.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

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

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some type of drug rehab service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment centers. Individuals could have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center that is in their network of providers and there could be other limitations such as just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a quality program they like and meet with a rehab specialist to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option offered by a number of alcohol and drug rehab centers to help help individuals afford treatment where this might not have been possible initially. By way of example, one client's price for treatment could possibly be different and lower than someone else whose financial situation is better making them more prepared to spend the money for full price of treatment. Registrars consider additional factors besides income including amount of dependents to determine the final cost using the sliding scale.
