Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment services regarding intensity of care, for the reason that individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to remain in a treatment center while undergoing treatment services. Although this may appear ideal it might not provide the much needed change of surroundings than a lot of people in rehab require to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug use issues are what are recognized in the field of drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must handle both disorders during treatment to find resolution because one usually exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are many alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers who can specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face to be able to not just become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never want to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use due to the challenges their impairment impose on them. While detection of this problem can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, there are ASL and also other assistance services readily available for them when substance abuse rehabilitation is required. Apart from ASL, such services might include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are receiving the support they need in drug rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities will take Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present another form of private health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality treatment center that will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug treatment programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehab 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 may qualify for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only inside the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some form of drug treatment service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers. Individuals could have to participate in a drug rehab center that's inside their network of providers and there might be other limitations like how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent center they like and consult with a treatment specialist to find out if their insurance covers it.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many alcohol and drug treatment facilities provide payment assistance to help clients who might not have sufficient funds to self pay for treatment or whose health insurance won't supply coverage or full coverage for their stay. For example, Sometimes insurance only pays for a short-term center when in fact a long-term center will probably be the more suitable option. To see what payment assistance may be offered, for instance a sliding fee scale, talk with the facility for particulars.
