Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a number of settings and with various rehab lengths and plans to accommodate the varying needs of clients with any kind of and degree of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential centers now being paid by many insurance companies, there is no need to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

Detoxification

Detoxification from drugs is really a process which can be made a lot more manageable and safely overseen when in a proper detoxification or drug treatment facility. Often detoxification isn't without risk, and even with the very best of intentions people who undergo detoxification on their own in an effort to get sober may very well be putting their own health or even their lives at risk. It is always better to seek out detoxification services in a professional program to prevent such hazards as well as have a smooth progression from detoxification to rehabilitation in a quality drug and alcohol rehabilitation program.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab solutions in terms of level of care, because the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to stay in a treatment center while undergoing rehab services. Even though this might appear perfect it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many individuals in recovery have to have to have a productive rehabilitation.

Gays and Lesbians

It is vital that gays and lesbians receive quality treatment services within a rehab environment that is discreet and has rehabilitation specialists available to them who understand the distinctive problems that they can experience in life. Because drug abuse for gays and lesbians may also be triggered because of the challenges they face due to their sexual preference, a program that can help them resolve these problems and give them the confidence they may have lacked before arriving in treatment could be a crucial part of recovery for gay and lesbian clients.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders are often given the possibility or ordered to rehabilitation as a term of their sentencing. Sometimes, the offender can select which rehab center they would like to enroll in. Upon successful completion, DUI and DWI offenders benefit from decreased sentencing options in order to move forward in their lives without getting penalized further.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into rehabilitation due to a court ruling in order to meet part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehabilitation frequently receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when cooperating with drug and alcohol treatment requirements enforced with them in sentencing specifically of course when successfully graduating an alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. Likewise, treatment facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehab centers will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present another kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehabilitation center which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab center.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might qualify for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only in the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some kind of alcohol and drug treatment service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals might have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility that's within their network of providers and there can be other limitations for example the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent facility they like and meet with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular drug abuse treatment solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some limitations as to the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehab so that it's clear how much time and individual can remain in the rehabilitation center of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option available from many different drug and alcohol treatment facilities to help help clients pay for rehab where this may not have been doable originally. For instance, one client's fee for rehab may be different and lower than another individual whose financial situation is better making them more prepared to pay the full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account other factors aside from income including number of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.
