Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in many different settings with various treatment lengths and plans to accommodate the varying demands of clients with any type of and amount of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential centers now being paid by many insurance plans, you shouldn't have to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions with regards to level of care, because the individual can keep their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehabilitation center while receiving rehabilitation services. While this might seem ideal it may not provide the required change of environment than many individuals in treatment require to have a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders are what are identified in the field of drug and alcohol rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must handle both disorders whilst in treatment in order to find resolution simply because one typically triggers the other. Fortunately, there are numerous alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers that can specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues face so that they can not just become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never want to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Criminal Justice Clients

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

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and substance abuse because of the problems their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem can be hard among the hearing impaired, there are ASL and other assistance services intended for them when drug abuse rehab is needed. Besides ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are obtaining the help they require in drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people face. In addition, treatment centers will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehab centers will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present some other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality treatment facility that will produce better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at alcohol and drug rehab facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in setting up the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only in the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some form of drug treatment service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug treatment facilities. Individuals may have to participate in a drug treatment center which is within their network of providers and there may be other limitations such as the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent program they prefer and meet with a treatment counselor to find out if their insurance will handle it.

Military Insurance (E.G., Va, Tricare)

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular drug abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some limitations concerning the length of time a stay in inpatient drug rehabilitation is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehab so that it's clear just how long and individual can stay in the treatment center of preference.
