Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to level of care, as the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to be in a treatment facility while undergoing rehab services. Although this may appear ideal it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many individuals in rehabilitation need to experience a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse problems are what are recognized in the field of alcohol and drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must tackle both disorders during treatment in order to find resolution because one often triggers the other. Fortunately, there are several drug and alcohol rehab programs who can specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face to be able to not merely become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never want 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 because of the challenges their impairment impose on them. While detection of this issue is often difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and other assistance services intended for them when drug abuse treatment is required. Aside from ASL, such services might include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are getting the support they require in alcohol and drug rehab.

Spanish

Not all drug rehabilitation centers have the staff or wherewithal to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately there are more and more programs that will do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Counselling, study information and stuff like that are actually very often obtainable in Spanish in both short and long terms facilities which provide inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish treatment is available too around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but people in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehab programs will often offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option made available from a number of alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in an effort to help clients pay for rehabilitation where this may not have been doable originally. By way of example, one client's fee for rehab may be different and another person whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to spend the money for full cost of treatment. Registrars take into account other factors apart from income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug and alcohol treatment centers offer payment assistance to help clients who may possibly not have sufficient resources to self pay for rehabilitation or whose medical insurance won't provide coverage or total coverage for their stay. For instance, Occasionally insurance only covers a short-term center when in actuality a long-term facility will likely be the more ideal choice. To find out what payment assistance can be offered, say for example a sliding fee scale, consult the program for details.
