  • A 2010 study conducted by Colorado University on 300 adolescents diagnosed with ADHD found that the symptoms of the 150 patients that were administered cognitive-behavioral therapy along with an inactive sugar pill disappeared just as effectively as the 150 adolescents who were given both the therapy and a chemically active Ritalin-type drug.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a variety of settings along with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to accommodate the various needs of clients with any kind of and level of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being paid by many insurance companies, there's no need to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who wants it.

Residential Short-Term Treatment (30 Days Or Less)

Residential short-term rehab for 30 days or less is an option which allows people in rehab to have the very much needed change of environment necessary to have a shot at remaining abstinent. Residential treatment is the premiere option because individuals can feel comfortable and at home while receiving services. Residential short-term treatment for 30 days or less may not be long enough for particular individuals with more serious addiction and dependency problems, and this should always be evaluated at the end of the 30 days to establish if more intensive treatment is necessary.

Residential Long-Term Treatment (More Than 30 Days)

Residential long-term treatment, which lasts in excess of four weeks, can be an option that delivers the commensurate intensity of care and suitable environment for anybody experiencing a significant addiction and dependency problem. Because individuals will continue to be within a residential long-term rehabilitation center for about 120 days and even longer in some cases, these types of programs provide all the amenities needed to make a client's feel as comfortable and amenable as it could possibly be while also delivering high quality treatment to assist them to conquer their addiction permanently.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug use problems are what are known in the field of alcohol and drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must handle both disorders when it's in treatment to find resolution because one often exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are many alcohol and drug rehab centers who can specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders face so that they can not just become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never consider it wise to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Men

Just as women and men face varying and unique challenges in life that are specific to their gender, men and women could also encounter distinctive challenges in rehabilitation which are gender specific, which explains why a facility designed specifically with these unique needs and challenges at heart can be quite ideal for someone looking for a powerful rehab solution.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into treatment due to a court ruling to meet part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug rehab often receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when cooperating with drug rehabilitation requirements enforced on them in sentencing especially of course when successfully graduating a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals really have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many individuals face. In addition, rehabilitation programs will often offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment centers will take Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present some other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehabilitation center which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment center.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could qualify for state insurance, they should 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 rehab, but usually only inside the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some form of alcohol and drug rehab service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment programs. Individuals may have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility that is inside their network of providers and there could be other restrictions like how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a good facility they like and speak with a rehabilitation specialist to determine if their insurance will handle it.
