Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a number of settings with various rehab lengths and plans to accommodate the varying demands of clients with any kind of and degree of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being covered by many insurance plans, you don't have to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services regarding level of care, because the individual can preserve their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a treatment center while receiving rehab services. Even though this may seem ideal it may not provide the much needed change of environment than many individuals in treatment require to have a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With HIV/AIDS

Persons with HIV/AIDS who require drug abuse treatment will very often need services beyond what a traditional alcohol and drug rehabilitation program can provide. Due to the fact extensive medical services are often an important aspect of the physical recovery process for addicts with HIV/AIDS, who very likely have experienced a progression and worsening of the disease due to their addiction, it is important that these clients get the medical care necessary along with any treatment solutions for their substance abuse issue.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol rehab centers possess the staff or wherewithal to cater to the needs of Spanish speaking clientele, but fortunately there are more and more programs that are able to do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than previously. Therapy, study info and stuff like that are now very often accessible in Spanish in both long and short terms programs which deliver inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is also available around the country.

Other Languages

In every city in America there's someone experiencing substance abuse that isn't necessarily fluent in English, who might require rehab in whichever language it is they are fluent in to ensure their needs can be met properly when in treatment. Fortunately, there are many drug rehabilitation programs which have counselors within their facility who speak other languages to make alcohol and drug rehab the best experience possible for any individual. Simply discover a high quality drug treatment facility and inquire if it is feasible to receive rehabilitation in other languages.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but people actually have a much more leverage due to the fact they can select whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present some other type of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehabilitation facility which will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug rehabilitation centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with setting up the person's rehab plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might qualify 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. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only in the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug treatment service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals could have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab program which is inside their network of providers and there could be other restrictions such as just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a quality program they like and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance will cover it.
