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 long and short term and both inpatient and residential centers now being included in many insurance plans, you shouldn't have to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who wants it.

Detoxification

Detoxification from drugs and alcohol is a process which can be made much more manageable and safely supervised when in a professional detox or drug and alcohol treatment facility. Sometimes detoxification isn't risk free, and even with the very best of intentions individuals who go through detoxification on their own in order to get sober could really be putting their own health and even their lives in danger. It is always far better to look for detoxification solutions inside a professional program to avoid such risks and also to have a smooth transition from detoxification to treatment at a top quality drug rehab facility.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anyone that has to be safely managed through detox services when heavily addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, or who needs a broader spectrum of care such as someone who has a dual diagnosis and also requires mental health solutions during their rehabilitation process. There are both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services offered.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions regarding level of care, because the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to be in a rehabilitation center while receiving rehab services. While this might appear perfect it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than a lot of people in rehab require to have a successful rehabilitation.

Residential Short-Term Treatment (30 Days Or Less)

Residential short-term rehabilitation for 30 days or less is a possibility which allows individuals in recovery to have the very much needed change of environment needed to have a chance 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 people with more extreme addiction and dependency issues, and this should always be evaluated at the end of the 30 days to establish if more extensive rehab is needed.

Adolescents

When adolescents get involved in any kind of drug use, it is vital that they obtain quality care to stop the situation in its tracks so that it doesn't worsen and maybe put their future in jeopardy. Due to the fact adolescent drug abuse which continues often carries on into adulthood, parents must continue to be vigilant and get their adolescent treatment as soon as a problem is observed in a center which handles adolescent drug abuse. Many facilities which deal with adolescents supply both inpatient and residential rehabilitation, which has been shown to be the most effective settings for treatment clients of this age.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and substance abuse because of the problems that their impairment impose on them. While detection of this problem can be difficult among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL and also other assistance services designed for them when substance abuse rehab is necessary. Besides ASL, such services can include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are getting the help they require in drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehabilitation 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 simply because they can choose whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, rehab facilities will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some treatment programs accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present any other form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality treatment program that will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug and alcohol treatment programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in establishing the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some form of drug rehab service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab facilities. Individuals might have to take part in a drug treatment facility that is inside their network of providers and there can be other restrictions for example the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a good facility they prefer and consult with a rehabilitation specialist to determine if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain substance abuse treatment solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs in addition to partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some limitations regarding just how long a stay in inpatient drug rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered prior to starting treatment so that it is clear just how long and individual can stay in the treatment facility of preference.
