Therapy, study info and stuff like that are now frequently obtainable in Spanish in both short and long terms centers which provide inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is also available nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals really have a much more leverage due to the fact they can select whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people encounter.

Medicaid

Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehab center which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug treatment facility.

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only within the state which provides the insurance coverage.
