Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a variety of settings with different treatment lengths and plans to suit the various demands of clients with any type of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being included in many insurance plans, there's no need to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab services in terms of intensity of care, as the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to remain in a rehabilitation program while receiving rehabilitation services. Although this may seem ideal it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than a lot of people in treatment require to have a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues are what are identified in the field of drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must address both disorders when it's in treatment in order to find resolution simply because one often exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are many alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs who can specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders face in order to not only become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never want to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Women

Women need to have quality rehabilitation in rehab but might also need special awareness of the unique issues they face because of their gender. Males and females not only face different and unique problems in everyday life because of gender, but in addition may abuse alcohol and drugs for very different reasons. alcohol and drug treatment programs which appeal to women and the specific and unique needs that women encounter can help significantly on the women's path to long term sobriety and a higher quality lifestyle.

Men

Just as women and men face varying and different challenges in everyday life that happen to be specific to their gender, men and women may also face distinctive challenges in rehabilitation that are gender specific, which is the reason a program designed specifically with these special needs and obstacles in mind can be extremely helpful for someone searching for a powerful treatment option.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders in many cases are given the choice or ordered to rehabilitation as a term of their sentencing. Quite often, the offender can choose which treatment facility they wish to go to. When successfully completed, DUI and DWI offenders can take advantage of decreased sentencing options to be able to move forward in their lives without getting penalized any further.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients get into rehabilitation due to a court order to satisfy part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehab often receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when cooperating with drug rehabilitation specifications enforced on them in sentencing and also of course when successfully graduating an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but individuals really have a much more leverage simply because they can decide on whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many people face. Likewise, treatment centers will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation facilities accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present any other form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation center which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation program.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only in the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some form of drug treatment service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug treatment centers. Individuals could have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab program that's within their network of providers and there may be other limitations for example the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a quality center they prefer and meet with a treatment specialist to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option offered by many different drug and alcohol rehab facilities in order to help clients pay for treatment where this may not have been possible initially. As an example, one client's price for rehabilitation may be different and somebody else whose financial situation is better which makes them more prepared to pay the full price of treatment. Registrars take into account additional circumstances aside from income including number of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug and alcohol treatment facilities offer payment assistance to help individuals who may not have adequate resources to self pay for rehab or whose health insurance won't supply coverage or full coverage for his or her stay. By way of example, Sometimes insurance only covers a short-term program when in reality a long-term facility is going to be the more appropriate choice. To see what payment assistance could be available, say for example a sliding fee scale, talk with the center for details.
