Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions with regards to intensity of care, because the individual can preserve their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to remain in a rehab center while undergoing treatment services. Even if this may appear perfect it may not provide the required change of atmosphere than a lot of people in rehabilitation need to experience a successful rehab.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse due to the problems that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this problem can often be hard among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL along with other assistance services readily available for them when substance abuse rehab is needed. Besides ASL, such services might include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are getting the support they need in drug treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but people really have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehab facilities will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present another form of private health care insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehab program that will produce better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at alcohol and drug treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in establishing the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug treatment service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities. Individuals could possibly have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility which is in their network of providers and there can be other restrictions such as the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a good facility they like and speak with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some restrictions about the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered before beginning rehab so that it's clear how long and individual can stay in the rehab center of preference.
