Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in many different settings with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to suit the varying needs of clients with any sort of and degree of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential centers now being paid by many insurance companies, there is no need to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions regarding intensity of care, for the reason that individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehab center while receiving rehab services. Although this may appear ideal it will not provide the much needed change of environment than lots of people in recovery require to experience a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders are what are identified in the field of drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must handle both disorders when it's in treatment in order to find resolution due to the fact one often triggers the other. Luckily, there are many drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs that can specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face so that they can not just become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never wish to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into rehab as part of a court order to meet part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehab often receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when being cooperative with drug and alcohol rehabilitation specifications enforced on them in sentencing and also naturally when successfully completing a drug treatment facility.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance won't cover the entire cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but people actually have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many men and women face. In addition, rehabilitation programs will often provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present another form of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may choose to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehab program that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehab facility.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some type of alcohol and drug treatment service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment facilities. Individuals might have to take part in a drug treatment center that's within their network of providers and there may be other limitations including just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select a good facility they like and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain substance abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers in addition to partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some restrictions about the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it is clear how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation program of preference.
