Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services in terms of intensity of care, as the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehab center while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even though this might seem ideal it will not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than lots of people in rehabilitation require to experience a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders are what are known in the field of drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must deal with both disorders while in rehabilitation in order to find resolution due to the fact one typically triggers the other. Luckily, there are many alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers that can specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues face in order to not merely become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never want to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse because of the problems their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the issue can often be hard among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and also other assistance services intended for them when drug abuse treatment is necessary. Aside from ASL, such services may include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are receiving the help they need in drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals in fact have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people face. Likewise, rehab centers will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation facilities will take Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present any other type of private health care insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehab center which will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug treatment centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for 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 drug and alcohol rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only in the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some form of drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab programs. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program that is within their network of providers and there might be other restrictions for example the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select an excellent facility they prefer and speak with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular substance abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers as well as partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some restrictions about just how long a stay in inpatient drug rehabilitation is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered before you begin rehab so that it's clear just how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation program of choice.
