Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services with regards to intensity of care, as the individual can keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to be in a rehabilitation center while undergoing rehabilitation services. Although this may seem ideal it might not provide the much needed change of surroundings than lots of people in rehabilitation need to have a productive rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug use problems are what are known in the field of drug and alcohol treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must deal with both disorders when it's in treatment in order to find resolution because one often triggers the other. Fortunately, there are several drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers who are able to specifically hone in on the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues face to enable them to not merely become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not consider it wise to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Gays and Lesbians

It is crucial that gays and lesbians acquire quality rehabilitation solutions in a treatment setting that's discreet and has treatment specialists available to them who comprehend the distinctive challenges they experience in life. Because substance abuse for gays and lesbians is oftentimes triggered because of the challenges they face because of their sexual preference, a program that can help them handle these problems and give them the peace of mind they may have lacked prior to arriving in treatment is usually a crucial part of treatment for gay and lesbian clients.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients get into rehabilitation due to a court ruling to meet part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehab frequently receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when cooperating with alcohol and drug rehabilitation specifications enforced with them as part of sentencing especially naturally when successfully completing a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but people really have a much more leverage simply because they can decide on whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many people face. In addition, rehab centers will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some treatment programs accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present any other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality treatment facility which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug treatment center.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only inside the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some form of drug treatment service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab facilities. Individuals may have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center that is within their network of providers and there could be other restrictions for example the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a good center they like and meet with a treatment counselor to determine if their insurance will take care of it.
