Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to intensity of care, because the individual can keep their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehabilitation center while receiving treatment services. While this might appear perfect it might not provide the required change of atmosphere than lots of people in treatment require to experience a successful rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse due to the problems that their impairment impose on them. While detection of this issue is often hard among the hearing impaired, there are ASL and other assistance services available for them when drug abuse rehab is needed. Apart from ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are obtaining the help they require in drug rehab.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol rehab centers possess the staff or wherewithal to cater to the demands of Spanish speaking clientele, but luckily there are more and more facilities that are able to do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Therapy, study information and the like are actually very often available in Spanish in both short and long terms facilities which deliver inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is available too around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but people really have a great deal of leverage because they can select whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women face. Likewise, treatment centers will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present another type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation center which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in setting up the person's treatment plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug and alcohol treatment service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug treatment centers. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility that's inside their network of providers and there can be other limitations like the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a good program they prefer and consult with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular drug abuse rehab services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some restrictions about the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before beginning rehab so that it's clear just how long and individual can stay in the treatment center of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option available from a variety of alcohol and drug treatment programs in an effort to help clients pay for treatment where this may not have been possible originally. For example, one client's price for rehab could be different and somebody else whose financial situation is better which makes them better able to pay for the full expense of rehabilitation. Registrars take into consideration variables besides income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost and using the sliding scale.
