Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services in terms of intensity of care, as the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to be in a rehab program while receiving rehabilitation services. While this might appear ideal it might not provide the much needed change of environment than many individuals in rehabilitation have to have to have a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug use problems are what are known in the field of drug and alcohol rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must deal with both disorders whilst in treatment to find resolution simply because one typically exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are several alcohol and drug treatment programs that can specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders face to enable them to not simply become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Persons With HIV/AIDS

Persons with HIV/AIDS who need drug abuse rehabilitation will usually need services beyond what a standard drug rehab program can deliver. Due to the fact extensive healthcare solutions will often be a vital part of the physical process of recovery for addicts with HIV/AIDS, who very likely have experienced a progression and worsening of the disease due to their habit, it is vital that these clients obtain the medical treatment required in conjunction with any rehabilitation solutions for their drug abuse issue.

Gays and Lesbians

It is essential that gays and lesbians obtain excellent rehabilitation services in a rehabilitation environment which is discreet and with treatment professionals available to them who understand the unique problems that they experience in life. Because drug use for gays and lesbians might be triggered because of the problems they face because of their sexual preference, a program that can help them resolve these problems and give them the peace of mind that they've lacked before arriving in rehabilitation can be quite a crucial aspect of rehab for gay and lesbian clients.

Seniors/Older Adults

Seniors and older adults who struggle with drug abuse could have unique challenges they must conquer while in treatment, which treatment professionals in the rehab they opt to be a part of have to be keen of to ensure that a full recovery may be possible. So for seniors and older adults, it is wise to choose a program which is used to helping seniors and older adults tackle the distinctive life and drug use problems that these clients face that might include a wider spectrum of services including medical treatment and the like.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and drug abuse due to the challenges that their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem is often difficult among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL along with other assistance services intended for them when drug abuse treatment is needed. Aside from ASL, such services may include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired people are obtaining the help they require in alcohol and drug rehab.

Spanish

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

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but people in fact have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can select whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people face. In addition, rehab centers will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present another kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may want to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehabilitation facility that will get better results, like a long-term residential drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug rehab centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in establishing the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as 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 may be used to cover the costs of drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only within the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs. Individuals might have to participate in a drug rehabilitation center which is within their network of providers and there can be other limitations like the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select a quality facility they like and consult with a treatment counselor to find out if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular substance abuse rehab solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers as well as partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some restrictions about the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehab so that it's clear the length of time and individual can remain in the rehabilitation facility of preference.
