Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services in terms of level of care, since the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to be in a rehab center while receiving rehabilitation services. While this may appear ideal it might not provide the required change of surroundings than lots of people in recovery need 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 alcohol and drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must tackle both disorders while in rehabilitation in order to find resolution because one often exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are numerous alcohol and drug rehab centers that can specifically address the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders face to be able to not just become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not consider it wise to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and drug abuse as a result of challenges their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the issue can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL and also other assistance services intended for them when substance abuse treatment is needed. Besides ASL, such services can include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired people are getting the help they require in drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehab programs possess the staff or resources to cater to the needs of Spanish speaking clientele, but fortunately there are more and more programs that are able to do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than previously. Therapy, study information and stuff like that are now very often obtainable in Spanish in both long and short terms facilities which deliver inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can select whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. In addition, treatment programs will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present any other form of private health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may choose to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality treatment center that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug and alcohol rehab facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in setting up the individual's rehab strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If a person doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only in the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some type of drug and alcohol treatment service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals may have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility which is inside their network of providers and there may be other limitations for example how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a quality center they prefer and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities as well as partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some limitations about just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before you start rehab so that it is clear just how long and individual can remain in the rehab facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility provided by a number of drug treatment centers in order to help individuals afford rehabilitation where this may not have been doable originally. For instance, one client's price for rehabilitation may be different and another individual whose finances are better which makes them better able to spend the money for full cost of treatment. Registrars take into consideration variables in addition to income including number of dependents to determine the final cost and using the sliding scale.
