Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services regarding intensity of care, because the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to be in a rehabilitation program while receiving rehab services. While this may appear ideal it will not provide the much needed change of environment than lots of people in treatment need to have a productive rehab.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and substance abuse due to problems that their impairment impose on them. While detection of this issue can be hard among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL along with other assistance services intended for them when drug abuse rehab is necessary. Aside from ASL, such services can include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired folks are getting the support they require in drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people face. Likewise, rehab facilities will often provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present another form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals might want to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality treatment facility that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If someone doesn't 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 ascertain if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only in the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some form of drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment facilities. Individuals might have to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment center that is in their network of providers and there might be other limitations including the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a good program they like and meet with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option available from many different drug and alcohol treatment centers to help help individuals pay for rehabilitation where this might not have been possible originally. As an example, one client's price for rehab may be different and lower than somebody else whose financial situation is better making them more prepared to pay the full price of treatment. Registrars consider other factors aside from income including number of dependents to determine the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
