Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services regarding intensity of care, as the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to be in a treatment program while receiving treatment services. While this may appear ideal it might not provide the much needed change of environment than many people in rehab need to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues are what are identified in the field of alcohol and drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must handle both disorders while in treatment to find resolution simply because one typically triggers the other. Fortunately, there are several drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities who are able to specifically address the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders face to be able to not simply become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not want to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients get into treatment due to a court ruling in order to meet part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug treatment often receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when being cooperative with drug and alcohol rehabilitation specifications enforced on them as part of sentencing and particularly naturally when successfully completing an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and drug abuse because of the challenges that their impairment impose on them. While detection of this problem can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL and also other assistance services available for them when substance abuse rehab is required. Aside from ASL, such services can include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are getting the help they need in alcohol and drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but people actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many individuals face. In addition, rehabilitation facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present another kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals may choose to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehab facility that will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug and alcohol treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in setting up the individual's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only in the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some form of drug treatment service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment center that is in their network of providers and there could be other limitations including how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a good facility they prefer and speak with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance covers it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility made available from a number of drug rehab centers to help help individuals afford rehab where this may not have been possible originally. As an example, one client's fee for rehab might be different and lower than another person whose financial situation is better making them more prepared to spend the money for full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account additional factors aside from income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug rehabilitation facilities offer payment assistance to help individuals who might not have enough resources to self pay for treatment or whose medical insurance won't supply coverage or total coverage for their stay. For instance, Sometimes insurance only pays for a short-term facility when in reality a long-term program is going to be the more appropriate selection. To find out what payment assistance may be offered, for instance a sliding fee scale, talk with the facility for details.
