Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of intensity of care, as the individual can maintain their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a rehab center while receiving treatment services. While this may seem ideal it might not provide the required change of surroundings than many individuals in recovery need to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues are what are identified in the field of alcohol and drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must handle both disorders whilst in rehabilitation to find resolution simply because one often triggers the other. Luckily, there are many alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers that can specifically hone in on the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face so that they can not simply become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Gays and Lesbians

It is essential that gays and lesbians obtain quality rehabilitation solutions within a rehab setting that's discreet and with rehab professionals at their disposal who comprehend the distinctive problems that they can experience in life. Because drug abuse for gays and lesbians may also be triggered by the problems they face because of their sexual preference, a program which can help them resolve these problems and give them the peace of mind that they've lacked before arriving in rehab is usually a crucial part of treatment for gay and lesbian clients.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehab facilities possess the staff or wherewithal to cater to the needs of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately there are more and more facilities that are able to do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than any other time. Counselling, study information and stuff like that are actually frequently obtainable in Spanish in both short and long terms centers which provide inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many people encounter. Likewise, treatment centers will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present some other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehab facility which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in setting up the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug rehab service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals could have to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment program that is inside their network of providers and there might be other restrictions for example the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a good facility they prefer and consult with a treatment counselor to find out if their insurance will handle it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option made available from a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers to help help clients afford treatment where this may not have been doable originally. For instance, one client's fee for rehabilitation might be different and another person whose financial situation is better which makes them better able to pay the full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars consider other factors besides income including amount of dependents to determine the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
