Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab solutions with regards to intensity of care, for the reason that individual can preserve their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to remain in a treatment facility while receiving treatment services. While this might appear perfect it might not provide the required change of environment than a lot of people in rehabilitation need to experience a productive rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders are what are recognized in the field of drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must address both disorders when it's in treatment in order to find resolution due to the fact one often exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are numerous drug and alcohol rehab programs who are able to specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face to be able to not merely become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into rehabilitation as part of a court ruling to meet a part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehab often receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when cooperating with drug rehab specifications enforced with them in sentencing and also of course when successfully graduating a drug and alcohol treatment program.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many people encounter. In addition, rehab centers will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present some other kind of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality treatment facility which will get better results, like a long-term residential drug rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug treatment facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in establishing the person's treatment 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 can be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only inside the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some form of alcohol and drug treatment service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab facilities. Individuals may have to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment program which is within their network of providers and there could be other limitations such as the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select an excellent facility they like and consult with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.
