Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders are what are known in the field of alcohol and drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must handle both disorders whilst in treatment to find resolution because one often triggers the other. Fortunately, there are lots of alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities that can specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face to be able to not simply become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never feel the need to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Gays and Lesbians

It is essential that gays and lesbians acquire quality rehabilitation services within a rehabilitation environment which is discreet and has treatment specialists at their disposal who understand the unique challenges that they can experience in life. Because drug abuse for gays and lesbians might be triggered by the problems they face due to their sexual preference, a rehab that can help them resolve these problems and give them the peace of mind they may have lacked before arriving in treatment can be a crucial part of recovery for gay and lesbian clients.

Seniors/Older Adults

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use due to problems that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this issue can be difficult among the hearing impaired, there are ASL along with other assistance services available for them when substance abuse treatment is needed. Besides ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are getting the help they need in drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers have the staff or wherewithal to cater to the demands of Spanish speaking clients, but thankfully there are more and more facilities that are able to do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Therapy, study information and stuff like that are now frequently obtainable in Spanish in both short and long terms facilities which deliver inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish treatment is available too around the country.

Other Languages

In every city in the U.S. there is someone experiencing drug use that isn't necessarily fluent in English, who might need rehab in whichever language it is that they are fluent in so that their needs can be met properly when in rehabilitation. Luckily, there are numerous drug rehab programs which have counselors within their facility who speak other languages to make drug rehabilitation the very best experience possible for any individual. Simply discover a top quality drug rehab facility and find out if it is feasible to receive rehabilitation in other languages.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but people really have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. Likewise, treatment facilities will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities accept Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present some other kind of private health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality treatment facility which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at alcohol and drug rehab programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in establishing the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab 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 alcohol and drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only inside the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehab service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities. Individuals could have to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment program that is inside their network of providers and there may be other restrictions like the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a quality program they like and meet with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance will handle it.
