Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services with regards to intensity of care, for the reason that individual can preserve their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to be in a rehab program while undergoing rehab services. Even if this may appear ideal it might not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many individuals in rehab require to experience a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse problems are what are known in the field of drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must deal with both disorders while in rehab in order to find resolution due to the fact one usually triggers the other. Fortunately, there are many drug rehab programs who are able to specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders face so that they can not merely become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never consider it wise to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but people really have a great deal of leverage because they can choose whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. In addition, rehab facilities will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present any other form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals may want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality treatment facility which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehab facility.
