Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a variety of settings and with various rehabilitation lengths and plans to accommodate the varying demands of clients with any kind of and degree of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being paid by many insurance companies, there's no need to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

Halfway House

A halfway house is a place which allows for an easy transition when someone has become sober on their own or has finished a drug treatment center and needs help re-acclimating into a normal lifestyle. Living in a halfway house, or sober living facility as it is sometimes called, is part of sentencing if a person is found guilty of drug charges as well. If assistance is needed locating a halfway house, contact a drug rehab program and meet with a treatment specialist that can point you towards the right direction.

Residential Long-Term Treatment (More Than 30 Days)

Residential long-term rehab, which lasts for more than four weeks, is definitely an option that delivers the commensurate intensity of care and suitable environment for anyone struggling with a significant addiction and dependency issue. Because individuals will stay within a residential long-term rehabilitation program for 3-6 months and even longer in some cases, these kinds of programs offer all the amenities needed to help client's stay as relaxed and amenable as it could possibly be whilst delivering quality treatment to help them conquer their addiction once and for all.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many men and women face. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.
