Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a variety of settings with different treatment lengths and plans to accommodate the varying demands of clients with any kind of and degree of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being included in many insurance companies, you don't have to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services with regards to intensity of care, since the individual can preserve their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of needing to be in a rehabilitation program while undergoing rehabilitation services. While this might appear ideal it will not provide the required change of environment than lots of people in recovery need to have a productive rehab.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders are often given the choice or ordered to rehab as part of sentencing. In many cases, the offender can select which rehabilitation program they would like to enroll in. Upon successful completion, DUI and DWI offenders benefit from reduced sentencing options in order to move forward in their lives without getting penalized further.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehab centers have the staff or wherewithal to cater to the needs of Spanish speaking clients, but luckily there are more and more centers that can do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Therapy, study info and the like are now frequently available in Spanish in both short and long terms programs which deliver inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but people actually have a much more leverage simply because they can decide on whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people face. In addition, rehabilitation programs will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option provided by a variety of alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in order to help individuals afford treatment where this might not have been possible initially. By way of example, one client's fee for rehab may be different and less than someone else whose finances are better making them more prepared to pay the full cost of rehab. Registrars take into account additional circumstances aside from income including amount of dependents to determine the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
