Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in many different settings and with different treatment lengths and plans to suit the varying demands of clients with any sort of and amount 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 put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anybody who needs it.

Residential Short-Term Treatment (30 Days Or Less)

Residential short-term rehabilitation for 30 days or less is an alternative which permits individuals in recovery to have the much needed change of environment necessary to have a shot at remaining sober. Residential treatment is the premiere option because individuals can feel comfortable and at home while receiving services. Residential short-term rehabilitation for 30 days or less may not be lengthy enough for certain individuals with more extreme addiction and dependency problems, and this should at all times be looked into at the end of the 30 days to determine if more intensive rehab is needed.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems are what are known in the field of alcohol and drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must address both disorders whilst in rehab to find resolution due to the fact one typically triggers the other. Luckily, there are numerous alcohol and drug treatment programs that can specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues face to be able to not simply become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never feel the need to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse due to the problems that their impairment impose on them. While detection of this problem can often be hard among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL and also other assistance services designed for them when drug abuse rehab is required. Other than ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired people are obtaining the help they need in alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

Other Languages

In every city in the U.S. there is someone fighting substance abuse that isn't necessarily fluent in English, who might require rehab in whichever language it is that they are fluent in so that their needs can be met properly whilst in rehab. Luckily, there are many drug and alcohol treatment facilities which have counselors on staff who speak other languages to make drug treatment the best experience possible for any individual. Simply discover a quality alcohol and drug treatment facility and inquire if it is feasible to receive rehabilitation in other languages.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but individuals actually have a much more leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, rehab facilities will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs will take Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present any other type of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehabilitation program that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could qualify for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some form of drug and alcohol rehab service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug treatment facilities. Individuals could have to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment facility that is in their network of providers and there may be other limitations like just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a good program they prefer and meet with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers in addition to partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some restrictions as to the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before beginning treatment so that it's clear how much time and individual can stay in the rehabilitation facility of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility made available from a variety of drug and alcohol rehab centers to help help clients afford treatment where this might not have been possible originally. For example, one client's fee for rehabilitation could possibly be different and lower than another individual whose finances are better making them better able to pay for the full price of rehabilitation. Registrars consider additional circumstances apart from income including amount of dependents to determine the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
