Statistics show that people who spend more than 30 days at an inpatient program, almost double their rate of long-term success and they are also not nearly as likely to relapse.

Outpatient

Gays and Lesbians

Because drug abuse for gays and lesbians may also be triggered by the challenges they face because of their sexual preference, a program that can help them resolve these issues and give them the confidence they may have lacked before arriving in treatment could be a crucial aspect of rehabilitation for gay and lesbian clients.

Seniors/Older Adults

So for seniors and older adults, it is wise to choose a center that is familiar with helping seniors and older adults handle the distinctive life and substance abuse problems that these clients face which might include a wider spectrum of solutions including health care and so on.

Criminal justice clients in drug treatment often receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when cooperating with alcohol and drug rehab requirements enforced on them as part of sentencing and also naturally when successfully graduating a drug and alcohol treatment center.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs have the staff or resources to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clients, but thankfully there are more and more facilities that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Counselling, study data and so on are now frequently available in Spanish in both short and long terms centers which provide inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is available too around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, rehabilitation facilities will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present some other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality treatment program which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in establishing the individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals may have to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment facility that's within their network of providers and there may be other restrictions including the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a good facility they like and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance will handle it.
