Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services in terms of level of care, because the individual can preserve their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to remain in a rehab center while receiving treatment services. While this might appear perfect it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than a lot of people in rehab have to have to have a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues are what are known in the field of drug and alcohol rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must tackle both disorders while in rehabilitation in order to find resolution because one usually triggers the other. Luckily, there are numerous drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities who are able to specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face to be able to not just become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not consider it wise to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehab centers possess the staff or wherewithal to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clients, but luckily there are more and more facilities that are able to do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than previously. Therapy, study information and so on are actually frequently accessible in Spanish in both long and short terms centers which deliver inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish treatment is also available around the country.

Self Payment

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

Medicaid

Certain treatment centers will take Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present another form of private health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality treatment program which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at alcohol and drug treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent 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 exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment 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 drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only in the state which offers the insurance.
