Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions with regards to level of care, as the individual can maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a rehab program while receiving treatment services. Even if this may appear ideal it may not provide the much needed change of environment than many individuals in rehab require to experience a successful rehab.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use due to the challenges that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this issue is often hard among the hearing impaired, there are ASL along with other assistance services readily available for them when substance abuse treatment is required. Other than ASL, such services can include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are receiving the help they require in drug treatment.

Spanish

Not all drug rehab facilities possess the staff or wherewithal to focus on the requirements of Spanish speaking clientele, but fortunately there are more and more programs that can do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Counselling, study data and stuff like that are actually frequently available in Spanish in both long and short terms facilities which deliver inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish treatment is available too nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage simply because they can select whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many men and women face. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation centers will take Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present some other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehabilitation center which will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug rehab programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in setting up the person's rehab plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only in the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option available from numerous drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in an effort to help clients pay for rehab where this might not have been doable initially. For example, one client's price for rehab may be different and less than another individual whose financial situation is better which makes them more prepared to pay for the full price of rehab. Registrars take into account other factors in addition to income including amount of dependents to determine the final cost using the sliding scale.
