Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment services with regards to intensity of care, because the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to be in a rehab center while undergoing rehab services. While this might appear ideal it may not provide the required change of environment than many individuals in treatment require to experience a productive rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug use issues are what are known in the field of drug and alcohol rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must tackle both disorders whilst in rehabilitation to find resolution because one often exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are numerous drug and alcohol rehab centers who can specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face in order to not simply become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never consider it wise to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use because of the challenges that their impairment impose on them. While detection of this issue can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL and also other assistance services intended for them when drug abuse rehab is required. Apart from ASL, such services can include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are obtaining the help they require in drug and alcohol rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage because they can select whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, treatment centers will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present some other form of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals might want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehab program which will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug and alcohol treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with setting up the person's treatment 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 rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only in the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug rehabilitation service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities. Individuals may have to participate in a drug rehabilitation program that's inside their network of providers and there can be other restrictions like just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select a good facility they prefer and meet with a treatment specialist to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular substance abuse rehab solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers as well as partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some restrictions about how much time a stay in inpatient drug rehab is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered before beginning rehab so that it's clear how long and individual can stay in the rehab facility of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option made available from numerous drug rehab programs to help help clients afford rehabilitation where this may not have been possible initially. For example, one client's price for rehab could possibly be different and lower than another individual whose financial situation is better which makes them better able to pay for the full price of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account other factors in addition to income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost and using the sliding scale.
