Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a variety of settings with various rehabilitation lengths and plans to suit the varying needs of clients with any type of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being included in many insurance companies, there is no need to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anybody who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab services in terms of level of care, because the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to be in a rehab program while undergoing treatment services. Even though this might seem ideal it will not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many people in rehabilitation require to experience a successful rehabilitation.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders are often given the option or ordered to treatment as part of sentencing. Sometimes, the offender can select which treatment facility they wish to enroll in. Upon successful completion, DUI and DWI offenders benefit from decreased sentencing options in order to move forward in their lives without having to be penalized further.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug treatment programs have the staff or resources to focus on the needs of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately there are more and more facilities that are able to do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Counselling, study data and the like are now very often accessible in Spanish in both long and short terms programs which deliver inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but people actually have a much more leverage because they can select whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many individuals encounter. In addition, rehabilitation facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present another kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may want to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehabilitation facility which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab program.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only within the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some sort of alcohol and drug treatment service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers. Individuals may have to take part in a drug treatment program which is inside their network of providers and there may be other limitations like the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a good center they prefer and speak with a treatment counselor to determine if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular substance abuse rehab services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some limitations regarding just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered before you begin rehab so that it's clear the length of time and individual can remain in the treatment facility of choice.
