Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services with regards to intensity of care, since the individual can preserve their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to be in a treatment center while receiving rehab services. Although this may appear ideal it will not provide the required change of environment than many individuals in rehabilitation need to have a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues are what are identified in the field of drug and alcohol treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must handle both disorders when it's in rehab to find resolution simply because one typically exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are many drug and alcohol treatment programs who are able to specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face to enable them to not merely become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not consider it wise to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse as a result of problems their impairment impose on them. While detection of this issue can often be hard among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and also other assistance services readily available for them when substance abuse rehab is necessary. Aside from ASL, such services can include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are getting the support they require in drug and alcohol rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs will take Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present any other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehab facility that will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in setting up the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Part B.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option offered by many different drug and alcohol rehab facilities to help help individuals afford rehabilitation where this may not have been possible originally. For example, one client's price for treatment could possibly be different and less than another person whose financial situation is better making them more prepared to spend the money for full expense of rehab. Registrars take into account additional factors apart from income including number of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.
