Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab solutions with regards to level of care, since the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehabilitation center while undergoing rehab services. While this may appear ideal it might not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many people in recovery have to have to experience a productive rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders are what are identified in the field of alcohol and drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must handle both disorders whilst in rehabilitation to find resolution because one usually exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are many drug rehab programs who can specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face so that they can not merely become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never feel the need to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Persons With HIV/AIDS

Persons with HIV/AIDS who are in need of drug abuse rehabilitation will usually need services beyond what a traditional alcohol and drug rehab program will be able to provide. Because extensive healthcare solutions will often be a key part of the physical recovery process for addicts with HIV/AIDS, who most likely have experienced a progression and worsening of the disease because of their habit, it is vital that these clients get the medical treatment needed in conjunction with any treatment solutions for their drug use problem.

Gays and Lesbians

It is vital that gays and lesbians obtain quality rehab services within a treatment environment that's discreet and with rehabilitation specialists available to them who comprehend the unique problems they have to deal with in life. Because substance abuse for gays and lesbians is oftentimes triggered by the challenges they face due to their sexual preference, a program which can help them resolve these issues and give them the confidence they may have lacked before arriving in treatment is usually a crucial part of rehab for gay and lesbian clients.

Seniors/Older Adults

Seniors and older adults who have a problem with substance abuse could possibly have unique challenges they have to conquer during treatment, which treatment specialists within the rehab they elect to take part in must be keen of to ensure that a complete recovery may be possible. So for seniors and older adults, it is advisable to select a facility which is used to helping seniors and older adults address the distinctive life and substance abuse problems that these clients face which can include a wider spectrum of services including medical treatment and so on.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients get into rehab as part of a court order to fulfill part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug treatment frequently receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when cooperating with drug and alcohol rehabilitation requirements enforced with them as part of sentencing and particularly naturally when successfully completing a drug and alcohol treatment facility.

Self Payment

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

Medicaid

Some treatment programs accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present any other type of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may choose to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehab program that will produce better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment center.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only in the state which offers the insurance coverage.
