Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services with regards to intensity of care, as the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to remain in a rehabilitation program while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even if this may seem ideal it might not provide the required change of surroundings than a lot of people in recovery need to have a productive rehabilitation.

Partial Hospitalization/Day Treatment

Partial hospitalization, or Day Treatment as it's often called, is a type of drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility set up for individuals who need and require a comprehensive and structured rehab strategy and environment yet don't need around the clock supervision. It can help make people in rehab continue to be supported rehabilitation process without interfering with other activities they might need to maintain whilst in rehab. Partial hospitalization/Day Treatment is also a choice for individuals who have finished an inpatient or residential facility and need assistance with the smooth transition back into a normal drug-free lifestyle.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders are what are identified in the field of alcohol and drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must address both disorders while in rehab in order to find resolution simply because one often triggers the other. Luckily, there are several drug rehab programs who are able to specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues face to enable them to not only become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and substance abuse due to problems their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem can sometimes be hard among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL and other assistance services designed for them when substance abuse treatment is needed. Apart from ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are getting the support they require in alcohol and drug treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but people in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can decide on whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many individuals face. In addition, rehab centers will often offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present any other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehab facility that will get better results, like a long-term residential drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug treatment programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in establishing the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only in the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some type of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs. Individuals might have to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment program which is inside their network of providers and there might be other restrictions like the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a quality center they like and speak with a treatment specialist to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain substance abuse rehab services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities as well as partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some restrictions about how much time a stay in inpatient drug treatment is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before you start treatment so that it's clear just how long and individual can stay in the treatment program of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility made available from many different alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs to help help individuals afford rehab where this might not have been possible originally. For instance, one client's fee for treatment could possibly be different and less than another person whose financial situation is better making them better able to spend the money for full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account additional circumstances apart from income including number of dependents to determine the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
