Detoxification

Detoxification from alcohol and drugs is a course of action which can be made far more manageable and safely overseen when in a proper detox or alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility. Sometimes detoxification isn't risk free, and even with good intentions individuals who proceed through detoxification independently in order to get sober could actually be putting their health and even their lives at risk. It is usually advisable to look for detoxification solutions in a professional facility in order to avoid such dangers as well as have a smooth transition from detoxification to rehabilitation at a top quality drug and alcohol rehabilitation program.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems are what are known in the field of drug and alcohol rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must address both disorders when it's in treatment to find resolution due to the fact one typically exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are many alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers who can specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues face in order to not only become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never consider it wise to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities will take Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present another type of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality treatment center that will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug treatment center.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some type of alcohol and drug treatment service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers. Individuals could have to participate in a drug rehabilitation center that's in their network of providers and there could be other limitations such as just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a quality facility they prefer and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility offered by many different drug and alcohol treatment facilities to help help clients afford treatment where this might not have been possible originally. For instance, one client's fee for rehabilitation could possibly be different and another individual whose financial situation is better which makes them more prepared to spend the money for full price of rehab. Registrars consider additional circumstances besides income including number of dependents to determine the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug treatment centers provide payment assistance to help individuals who may not have adequate resources to self pay for treatment or whose medical insurance won't provide coverage or total coverage for his or her stay. As an example, Occasionally insurance only covers a short-term program when in reality a long-term center will be the more suitable selection. To see what payment assistance may be available, for instance a sliding fee scale, seek advice from the center for details.
