Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions with regards to level of care, because the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to be in a treatment program while undergoing rehabilitation services. While this may appear ideal it might not provide the required change of surroundings than lots of people in treatment have to have to have a productive rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders are what are known in the field of alcohol and drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must handle both disorders during rehabilitation to find resolution because one typically exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are lots of alcohol and drug treatment programs who are able to specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues face to be able to not only become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never want to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but people really have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many people face. In addition, treatment facilities will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present some other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may choose to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to cover a more quality treatment center that will get better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug and alcohol rehab facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with establishing the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being paid for through Medicare Part B.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility available from numerous alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in order to help clients pay for rehab where this may not have been possible initially. By way of example, one client's fee for rehabilitation could possibly be different and less than someone else whose finances are better which makes them better able to pay the full price of treatment. Registrars take into account other factors apart from income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many alcohol and drug rehab programs offer payment assistance to help individuals who might not have adequate resources to self pay for treatment or whose medical insurance won't supply coverage or total coverage for their stay. For instance, Occasionally insurance only covers a short-term facility when in fact a long-term program will be the more suitable choice. To determine what payment assistance may be available, say for example a sliding fee scale, talk with the program for details.
