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 rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must tackle both disorders whilst in rehabilitation to find resolution because one usually exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are numerous drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs who can specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders face to be able to not just become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never feel the need to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Persons With HIV/AIDS

Persons with HIV/AIDS who may need substance abuse treatment will very often require services beyond what a traditional alcohol and drug rehab facility can deliver. Simply because extensive medical solutions in many cases are an integral aspect of the physical process of recovery 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 together with any rehabilitation services for substance abuse problem.

Gays and Lesbians

It is essential that gays and lesbians acquire excellent rehabilitation services within a rehab setting which is discreet and with treatment professionals available to them who understand the distinctive problems they experience in life. Because drug use for gays and lesbians might be triggered by the challenges they face due to their sexual preference, a program which will help them resolve these problems and give them the peace of mind that they've lacked before arriving in rehabilitation can be a crucial aspect of recovery for gay and lesbian clients.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into rehab due to a court order to satisfy a part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehab often receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when cooperating with alcohol and drug treatment specifications enforced on them as part of sentencing especially naturally when successfully graduating an alcohol and drug rehab program.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but people in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people face. In addition, rehabilitation programs will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.
