Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in many different settings with various treatment lengths and plans to suit the various demands of clients with any type of and amount of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being included in many insurance plans, you don't have to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions regarding level of care, because the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a treatment facility while receiving rehabilitation services. Even though this may seem ideal it might not provide the much needed change of surroundings than a lot of people in recovery require to have a successful rehab.

Adolescents

When adolescents get involved in any type of drug abuse, it is important that they receive high quality care to stop the situation in its tracks so that it doesn't worsen and maybe jeopardize their future. Because adolescent drug abuse which continues often continues into adulthood, parents must remain vigilant and get their adolescent treatment when an issue is noticed in a facility which handles adolescent substance abuse. A lot of facilities which deal with adolescents provide both inpatient and residential rehab, that has been shown to be the most beneficial environments for treatment clients of this age.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders are often given the possibility or ordered to rehabilitation as a term of their sentencing. Quite often, the offender can choose which treatment facility they would like to enroll in. Upon successful completion, DUI and DWI offenders benefit from reduced sentencing options to be able to move ahead in their lives without having to be penalized any more.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals really have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehab facilities will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present another form of private health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehabilitation program that will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehab center.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some form of drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals might have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab program that's inside their network of providers and there might be other restrictions including how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a quality facility they like and speak with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance will cover it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option available from a number of alcohol and drug treatment facilities in order to help individuals afford rehab where this might not have been possible originally. As an example, one client's price for rehab could be different and lower than another individual whose financial situation is better making them better able to pay for the full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account additional circumstances in addition to income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
