Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of intensity of care, as the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to remain in a treatment center while receiving rehabilitation services. While this may appear ideal it will not provide the required change of atmosphere than many individuals in rehabilitation require to experience a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders are what are known in the field of drug and alcohol rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must deal with both disorders during rehabilitation in order to find resolution simply because one often triggers the other. Fortunately, there are lots of drug rehabilitation facilities that can specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues face to be able to not just become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never want to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Spanish

Not all drug rehab centers have the staff or wherewithal to focus on the needs of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately there are more and more facilities that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than previously. Therapy, study data and the like are now frequently available in Spanish in both long and short terms facilities which provide inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but people really have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many men and women face. In addition, rehab facilities will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present some other form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality treatment facility which will get better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug rehabilitation programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in setting up the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some sort of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab centers. Individuals could have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment facility that's within their network of providers and there might be other restrictions like how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a good facility they prefer and speak with a rehabilitation specialist to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain drug abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There could be some restrictions regarding the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered before beginning treatment so that it is clear how long and individual can stay in the treatment facility of preference.
