Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions regarding intensity of care, since the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to remain in a rehabilitation program while receiving rehab services. Even if this might seem ideal it may not provide the required change of environment than many individuals in recovery require to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders are what are identified in the field of drug and alcohol treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must tackle both disorders during treatment in order to find resolution simply because one usually exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are many drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers who can specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders face so that they can not just become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never consider it wise to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Seniors/Older Adults

Seniors and older adults who have trouble with drug abuse may have distinctive challenges they must overcome while in treatment, which treatment professionals within the program they elect to take part in should be keen of so that a complete recovery may be possible. So for seniors and older adults, it is advisable to choose a facility that is familiar with helping seniors and older adults deal with the unique life and substance abuse issues that these clients face that might include a broader spectrum of solutions including medical care and so on.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients get into treatment as part of a court order in order to meet part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehabilitation frequently receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when being cooperative with drug treatment requirements enforced on them in sentencing especially of course when successfully graduating an alcohol and drug rehab facility.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use because of the problems that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this issue can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL as well as other assistance services designed for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is required. Aside from ASL, such services may include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are obtaining the help they need in drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals really have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehab programs will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation facilities will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present some other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality treatment facility that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug treatment programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in establishing the person's rehab strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug treatment service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehab centers. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab program that is in their network of providers and there might be other limitations for example how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent facility they prefer and meet with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers as well as partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some limitations regarding how much time a stay in inpatient drug treatment is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered prior to starting rehab so that it's clear how much time and individual can stay in the rehab facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option offered by a variety of drug rehabilitation facilities to help help clients pay for rehab where this might not have been doable originally. For instance, one client's fee for treatment could possibly be different and less than another person whose financial situation is better which makes them better able to spend the money for full price of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account variables apart from income including number of dependents to determine the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
