Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in several settings and with different rehab lengths and plans to accommodate the varying needs of clients with any type of and level of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential centers now being covered by many insurance companies, there is no need to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab solutions regarding level of care, because the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehab program while undergoing treatment services. While this might appear perfect it may not provide the much needed change of environment than many individuals in rehab need to experience a successful rehab.

Adolescents

When adolescents get involved in any sort of drug abuse, it is crucial that they acquire top quality care to stop the problem in its tracks so that it doesn't get any worse and maybe jeopardize their future. Because adolescent drug abuse which persists often carries on into one's adult life, mothers and fathers must continue to be vigilant and get their adolescent rehab as soon as a problem is noticed in a facility which handles adolescent substance abuse. Many facilities which deal with adolescents provide both inpatient and residential rehabilitation, that has been shown to be the most effective settings for treatment clients of this age.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders are what are identified in the field of drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must handle both disorders while in treatment to find resolution simply because one usually triggers the other. Fortunately, there are numerous alcohol and drug rehab facilities that can specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders face to enable them to not merely become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never feel the need to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients get into treatment due to a court order to satisfy part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol treatment frequently receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when being cooperative with drug and alcohol treatment specifications enforced with them as part of sentencing and particularly of course when successfully graduating a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program.

Spanish

Not all drug rehab centers have the staff or resources to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clients, but luckily there are more and more facilities that can do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Counselling, study info and the like are actually very often available in Spanish in both long and short terms programs which provide inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish rehab is available too around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but people in fact have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many individuals encounter. In addition, rehab programs will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option offered by many different drug treatment programs in order to help individuals afford treatment where this may not have been possible initially. For example, one client's fee for rehab might be different and lower than somebody else whose financial situation is better making them more prepared to pay the full expense of rehabilitation. Registrars consider additional factors in addition to income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
