Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are available to anybody who must be safely managed through detoxification services when seriously dependent to drugs and alcohol, or who wants a better spectrum of care such as someone who is dealing with a dual diagnosis and also requires mental health services as part of their rehabilitation process. You can find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services available.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of intensity of care, since the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of needing to be in a rehab program while receiving rehabilitation services. While this might appear perfect it may not provide the required change of environment than many individuals in treatment require to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems are what are known in the field of drug and alcohol rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must tackle both disorders during rehabilitation in order to find resolution simply because one usually exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are several drug and alcohol treatment centers who can specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face to enable them to not just become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not feel the need to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and drug abuse because of the challenges their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem is often difficult among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL along with other assistance services intended for them when substance abuse rehab is required. Apart from ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are obtaining the help they require in alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehab facilities have the staff or wherewithal to focus on the requirements of Spanish speaking clientele, but luckily there are more and more facilities that can do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Counselling, study data and so on are now frequently obtainable in Spanish in both long and short terms centers which deliver inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish treatment is also available nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter. In addition, rehab facilities will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities will take Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present some other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehabilitation program that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug and alcohol rehab facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some form of drug and alcohol rehab service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab programs. Individuals might have to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment center that is inside their network of providers and there can be other restrictions including the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent facility they prefer and consult with a treatment counselor to find out if their insurance will cover it.
