Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions regarding level of care, as the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to remain in a rehabilitation program while receiving treatment services. Although this may appear ideal it may not provide the much needed change of environment than many people in treatment have to have to have a productive rehabilitation.

Gays and Lesbians

It is vital that gays and lesbians receive quality rehab services in a treatment setting which can be discreet and with rehabilitation professionals available to them who comprehend the unique problems they have to deal with in life. Because drug use for gays and lesbians is oftentimes triggered by the challenges they face because of their sexual preference, a facility which will help them resolve these issues and give them the peace of mind that they've lacked prior to arriving in rehabilitation is usually a crucial aspect of rehab for gay and lesbian clients.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and substance abuse as a result of challenges that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the issue is often hard among the hearing impaired, there are ASL and also other assistance services intended for them when substance abuse treatment is needed. Apart from ASL, such services can include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired people are getting the support they need in alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug treatment programs possess the staff or wherewithal to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clients, but thankfully there are more and more facilities that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than any other time. Counselling, study info and stuff like that are actually very often accessible in Spanish in both short and long terms facilities which deliver inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is also available nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but people in fact have a great deal of leverage because they can choose whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present some other form of private health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may choose to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehab program that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at alcohol and drug treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in setting up the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only inside the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some type of drug and alcohol treatment service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab facilities. Individuals could possibly have to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment facility that's within their network of providers and there may be other restrictions like how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a good program they prefer and speak with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain substance abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities and also partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some limitations concerning just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehab is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before beginning rehab so that it's clear just how long and individual can remain in the treatment center of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility provided by a number of drug and alcohol rehab centers in an effort to help clients pay for rehabilitation where this may not have been doable initially. For instance, one client's fee for rehab might be different and less than another person whose financial situation is better which makes them better able to pay the full expense of rehab. Registrars consider other factors apart from income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
