Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab solutions in terms of intensity of care, as the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehab program while receiving rehab services. While this may appear perfect it will not provide the required change of environment than a lot of people in treatment require to experience a productive rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems are what are recognized in the field of drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must address both disorders during rehab in order to find resolution simply because one often exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are numerous alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs who can specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face in order to not only become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse due to challenges their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this issue is often difficult among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL as well as other assistance services designed for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is needed. Besides ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired folks are receiving the help they require in drug treatment.

Spanish

Not all drug treatment programs possess the staff or wherewithal to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clientele, but fortunately there are more and more facilities that are able to do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than previously. Counselling, study information and the like are actually frequently accessible in Spanish in both long and short terms programs which deliver inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is available too nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage because they can select whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women face. In addition, rehab centers will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers accept Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present any other kind of private health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehab program that will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug treatment centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in establishing the person's rehab plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment 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 alcohol and drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug treatment programs. Individuals could have to participate in a drug treatment program that's in their network of providers and there might be other restrictions including how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a good program they like and consult with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain substance abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some restrictions regarding how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered prior to starting treatment so that it is clear the length of time and individual can remain in the treatment program of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option available from a number of drug treatment programs in order to help clients afford rehab where this may not have been doable originally. As an example, one client's fee for treatment may be different and another individual whose finances are better making them better able to spend the money for full cost of treatment. Registrars take into consideration variables aside from income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
