Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in many different settings along with different rehab lengths and plans to accommodate 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 plans, there is no need to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions with regards to level of care, since the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehab facility while receiving treatment services. Although this might appear ideal it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many people in rehabilitation require to have a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues are what are recognized in the field of drug and alcohol rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must tackle both disorders during treatment to find resolution due to the fact one usually exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are lots of drug and alcohol rehab facilities who can specifically address the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders face in order to not only become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never feel the need to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients get into treatment as part of a court ruling in order to meet part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehabilitation often receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when being cooperative with drug rehabilitation specifications enforced on them as part of sentencing especially of course when successfully graduating a drug and alcohol rehab center.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities possess the staff or resources to cater to the needs of Spanish speaking clientele, but luckily there are more and more facilities that will do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than previously. Therapy, study information and the like are now very often available in Spanish in both short and long terms programs which provide inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance won't cover the entire cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but people in fact have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many men and women face. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present another form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality treatment facility which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab program.
