Residential Long-Term Treatment (More Than 30 Days)

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Gays and Lesbians

It is crucial that gays and lesbians acquire quality treatment solutions within a rehab environment which can be discreet and with treatment specialists available to them who comprehend the distinctive problems that they experience in life.

Residential Beds For Client's Children

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use due to problems their impairment impose on them.

Aside from ASL, such services can include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are getting the help they require in drug rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities have the staff or wherewithal to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clientele, but luckily there are more and more centers that are able to do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than previously. Counselling, study information and the like are now very often available in Spanish in both long and short terms programs which deliver inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is available too around the country.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present any other form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality treatment facility that will produce better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment program.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some kind of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug treatment programs.
