Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders are what are known in the field of drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients.

Aside from ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are receiving the support they need in drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage simply because they can select whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, rehab centers will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab facilities accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present some other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehab center that will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug rehabilitation centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in setting up the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only inside the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehab service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals might have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab program that is inside their network of providers and there may be other restrictions for example how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a good program they like and speak 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 price of certain drug abuse rehab services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers and also partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some limitations about how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before you start rehabilitation so that it's clear how much time and individual can remain in the rehab center of preference.
