Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions with regards to intensity of care, as the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to remain in a rehabilitation facility while receiving rehab services. Although this may seem perfect it may not provide the required change of environment than a lot of people in rehab need to experience a successful rehabilitation.

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 drug and alcohol rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must tackle both disorders when it's in rehabilitation in order to find resolution due to the fact one usually exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are several drug and alcohol treatment centers who can specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders face to enable them to not only become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug treatment centers have the staff or wherewithal to cater to the demands of Spanish speaking clientele, but fortunately there are more and more facilities that can do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than any other time. Therapy, study information and stuff like that are actually very often available in Spanish in both long and short terms programs which provide inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available around the country.

Other Languages

In every city in America there's someone being affected by drug use that isn't necessarily fluent in English, who may need rehab in whatever language it is that they are fluent in to ensure their needs can be met properly during treatment. Luckily, there are many drug rehab centers who have counselors on staff who speak other languages to make alcohol and drug rehabilitation the very best experience possible for any individual. Simply look for a high quality drug and alcohol rehab center and find out if it is possible to receive rehab in other languages.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but people really have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, treatment centers will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation centers will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present any other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehab facility that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with establishing the individual's rehab strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some type of drug and alcohol rehab service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs. Individuals could have to participate in a drug rehabilitation center that's inside their network of providers and there can be other limitations like the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent program they prefer and meet with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option offered by many different drug and alcohol treatment facilities to help help individuals pay for rehab where this may not have been doable initially. By way of example, one client's fee for rehab may be different and another person whose financial situation is better making them better able to pay the full expense of treatment. Registrars consider additional circumstances in addition to income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
