Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab services regarding level of care, because the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to be in a treatment center while receiving treatment services. Even if this may seem perfect it will not provide the required change of surroundings than a lot of people in treatment have to have to experience a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug use problems are what are known in the field of drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must tackle both disorders while in rehabilitation to find resolution because one typically triggers the other. Fortunately, there are numerous drug rehab programs that can specifically address the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues face to enable them to not only become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Spanish

Not all drug rehab facilities have the staff or wherewithal to focus on the requirements of Spanish speaking clientele, but thankfully there are more and more centers that are able to do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than any other time. Counselling, study data and stuff like that are now very often obtainable in Spanish in both long and short terms centers which provide inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish treatment is available too around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but people actually have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many individuals face. Likewise, rehab facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs will take Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present any other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to pay for a more quality treatment program which will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug and alcohol rehab centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in setting up the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some type of drug and alcohol rehab service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals may have to participate in a drug treatment center which is inside their network of providers and there can be other limitations like the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a quality center they prefer and speak with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some restrictions regarding how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered before you start rehab so that it is clear the length of time and individual can stay in the rehabilitation center of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility available from a number of drug treatment facilities to help help individuals pay for rehabilitation where this may not have been possible initially. For instance, one client's price for rehab could be different and another person whose finances are better making them better able to spend the money for full price of treatment. Registrars take into consideration other factors apart from income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
