Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues are what are recognized in the field of drug and alcohol rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must handle both disorders whilst in rehab in order to find resolution due to the fact one usually triggers the other. Fortunately, there are numerous alcohol and drug treatment programs who are able to specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues face to be able to not just become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not consider it wise to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and substance abuse as a result of challenges their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem is often difficult among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL as well as other assistance services available for them when substance abuse rehabilitation is needed. Aside from ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are receiving the help they require in drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but people actually have a much more leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, treatment facilities will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs accept Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present another kind of private health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehab program that will produce better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation program.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility available from a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in an effort to help individuals pay for rehab where this may not have been possible initially. For instance, one client's price for treatment may be different and less than another person whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to pay the full price of treatment. Registrars take into consideration additional circumstances aside from income including amount of dependents to determine the final cost using the sliding scale.
