Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of level of care, as the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation facility while undergoing rehab services. Even if this might appear ideal it will not provide the required change of atmosphere than a lot of people in recovery have to have to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders are what are recognized in the field of drug and alcohol rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must handle both disorders while in rehab in order to find resolution because one often exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are lots of drug rehab centers that can specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face so that they can not simply become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never wish to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Persons With HIV/AIDS

Persons with HIV/AIDS who need substance abuse treatment will usually need services beyond what a traditional drug and alcohol rehab program can provide. Due to the fact comprehensive healthcare services in many cases are an integral part of the physical process of healing for addicts with HIV/AIDS, who likely have experienced a progression and worsening of the disease due to their addiction, it is essential that these clients obtain the medical treatment required in conjunction with any rehabilitation services for their drug use problem.

Gays and Lesbians

It is essential that gays and lesbians acquire excellent rehabilitation solutions in a rehab setting that is discreet and has rehabilitation specialists available to them who understand the unique problems that they can have to deal with in life. Because drug use for gays and lesbians is oftentimes triggered by the problems they face because of their sexual preference, a facility which can help them handle these problems and give them the confidence that they've lacked before arriving in treatment is usually a crucial part of treatment for gay and lesbian clients.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse due to the problems their impairment impose on them. While detection of the issue can sometimes be hard among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL along with other assistance services designed for them when substance abuse rehab is required. Apart from ASL, such services may include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are getting the support they require in alcohol and drug treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't cover the total cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can select whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, rehab facilities will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present any other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality treatment program that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug and alcohol treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in establishing the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment 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 expense of drug and alcohol treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only in the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals may have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab program that's inside their network of providers and there may be other limitations including just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a good facility they prefer and meet with a treatment specialist to determine if their insurance will handle it.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs provide payment assistance to help individuals who may not have adequate funds to self pay for rehabilitation or whose health insurance won't provide coverage or total coverage for their stay. For example, Sometimes insurance only covers a short-term center when in reality a long-term center will likely be the more appropriate choice. To determine what payment assistance can be offered, say for example a sliding fee scale, check with the facility for particulars.
