Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in many different settings with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to suit the various demands of clients with any type of and degree of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential centers now being covered by many insurance companies, there is no need to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services in terms of level of care, for the reason that individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehabilitation center while receiving rehab services. While this might appear perfect it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many individuals in recovery need to experience a successful rehab.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders are often given the option or ordered to treatment as part of sentencing. In many cases, the offender can choose which rehabilitation program they would like to enroll in. When successfully completed, DUI and DWI offenders benefit from decreased sentencing options in order to move forward in their lives without having to be penalized further.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs possess the staff or resources to focus on the demands of Spanish speaking clientele, but fortunately there are more and more programs that can do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than previously. Therapy, study info and stuff like that are actually very often accessible in Spanish in both short and long terms centers which provide inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish treatment is available too around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but individuals really have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women face. In addition, treatment programs will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation facilities will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present another kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation program that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab program.
