Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services regarding level of care, because the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a treatment center while undergoing rehab services. Although this might seem perfect it might not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many individuals in rehab require to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders are what are recognized in the field of drug and alcohol rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must address both disorders whilst in rehab in order to find resolution because one usually triggers the other. Fortunately, there are several drug rehabilitation programs who are able to specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues face to enable them to not merely become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never want to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into rehab as part of a court ruling to meet a part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehab frequently receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when being cooperative with drug rehabilitation specifications enforced with them as part of sentencing and also naturally when successfully completing a drug and alcohol rehab program.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use as a result of problems their impairment impose on them. While detection of the issue is often difficult among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL as well as other assistance services intended for them when substance abuse treatment is needed. Besides ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are obtaining the support they need in drug rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all drug treatment facilities possess the staff or wherewithal to focus on the requirements of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately there are more and more centers that will do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than any other time. Therapy, study info and stuff like that are actually frequently available in Spanish in both short and long terms facilities which provide inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish treatment is also available nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of treatment or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but people actually have a much more leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. In addition, treatment programs will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present some other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehab center that will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug and alcohol rehab programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with setting up the person's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other type 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 expense of alcohol and drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might be eligible for state insurance, they can 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 cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only within the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some sort of alcohol and drug treatment service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab programs. Individuals might have to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment facility which is in their network of providers and there can be other limitations for example how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a good center they like and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities as well as partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some limitations as to how much time a stay in inpatient drug treatment is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before beginning rehab so that it's clear how much time and individual can stay in the treatment facility of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option available from a variety of drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in order to help clients afford rehabilitation where this may not have been possible originally. By way of example, one client's fee for treatment may be different and somebody else whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to pay for the full cost of rehab. Registrars consider variables apart from income including number of dependents to determine the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
