Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions with regards to level of care, for the reason that individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to remain in a treatment facility while undergoing rehab services. Although this might seem ideal it may not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than lots of people in treatment require to have a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse problems are what are recognized in the field of drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must handle both disorders during rehab in order to find resolution because one typically triggers the other. Fortunately, there are many drug rehab centers that can specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders face in order to not just become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not wish to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Persons With HIV/AIDS

Persons with HIV/AIDS who require substance abuse rehabilitation will often need services beyond what a traditional drug rehabilitation center can deliver. Simply because comprehensive medical services in many cases are a key aspect of the physical process of recovery for addicts with HIV/AIDS, who very likely have experienced a progression and worsening of the disease because of their habit, it is essential that these clients get the health care required in conjunction with any rehab services for substance abuse problem.

Gays and Lesbians

It is vital that gays and lesbians receive excellent treatment services in a rehab setting which can be discreet and with treatment specialists at their disposal who understand the unique problems they experience in life. Because drug abuse for gays and lesbians is sometimes triggered by the challenges they face due to their sexual preference, a facility that can help them resolve these problems and give them the confidence they may have lacked prior to arriving in treatment can be quite a crucial aspect of treatment for gay and lesbian clients.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehab programs possess the staff or wherewithal to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clientele, but fortunately there are more and more programs that can do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Counselling, study data and the like are now frequently obtainable in Spanish in both short and long terms facilities which deliver inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available around the country.

Medicaid

Certain treatment centers will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present some other form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehabilitation center which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with establishing the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only inside the state which provides the insurance coverage.
