Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of level of care, since the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to be in a rehab facility while undergoing rehabilitation services. While this might seem ideal it might not provide the much needed change of environment than lots of people in treatment require to experience a productive rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use due to challenges their impairment impose on them. While detection of this problem can sometimes be difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL along with other assistance services readily available for them when substance abuse rehab is required. Aside from ASL, such services can include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are receiving the support they require in drug and alcohol treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehab centers will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present some other form of private health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality treatment center which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at alcohol and drug treatment facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in setting up the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like 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 can be used to cover the costs of drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only within the state which provides the insurance.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug and alcohol treatment programs offer payment assistance to help individuals who may not have adequate resources to self pay for rehabilitation or whose medical insurance won't provide coverage or full coverage for his or her stay. For example, Sometimes insurance only covers a short-term center when in reality a long-term center will likely be the more ideal choice. To determine what payment assistance could be offered, like a sliding fee scale, check with the program for particulars.
