Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues are what are identified in the field of alcohol and drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must tackle both disorders during rehab in order to find resolution because one typically triggers the other. Fortunately, there are numerous drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs that can specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face in order to not only become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never consider it wise to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use due to the problems that their impairment impose on them. While detection of the issue can sometimes be hard among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL along with other assistance services available for them when drug abuse rehab is needed. Apart from ASL, such services may include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are getting the support they require in drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but individuals in fact have a much more leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation centers will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs accept Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present any other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation facility which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in establishing the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some kind of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment programs. Individuals might have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program that's inside their network of providers and there could be other restrictions for example the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a quality facility they like and meet with a rehabilitation specialist to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.

Military Insurance (E.G., Va, Tricare)

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular drug abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some limitations as to how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered before beginning rehabilitation so that it's clear how long and individual can remain in the rehabilitation program of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option offered by many different drug rehab facilities in an effort to help individuals afford rehabilitation where this might not have been possible initially. For instance, one client's fee for rehabilitation may be different and another individual whose financial situation is better which makes them better able to pay for the full expense of rehab. Registrars consider additional factors besides income including number of dependents to determine the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
