Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a variety of settings with different treatment lengths and plans to accommodate the various demands of clients with any kind of and level of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential centers now being covered by many insurance companies, you don't have to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who wants it.

Halfway House

A halfway house is a place that allows for a smooth transition when someone is newly sober on their own or has finished a drug rehabilitation center and needs help re-acclimating into a normal lifestyle. Residing in a halfway house, or sober living facility as they are sometimes called, is part of sentencing if someone is found guilty of drug charges also. If guidance is needed locating a halfway house, speak to a drug rehab center and speak with a treatment specialist who can point you in the right direction.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services regarding intensity of care, because the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehabilitation facility while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even though this may seem perfect it might not provide the required change of surroundings than a lot of people in recovery need to experience a productive rehabilitation.

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 drug and alcohol rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must handle both disorders while in rehabilitation to find resolution due to the fact one often exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are many drug and alcohol treatment centers who can specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues face in order to not only become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not wish 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 due to problems their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem is often difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL along with other assistance services readily available for them when substance abuse rehab is needed. Aside from ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired people are receiving the help they need in drug and alcohol rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but people actually have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, treatment facilities will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present any other kind of private health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation center which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug rehab facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in establishing the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only within the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some type of drug treatment service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment facilities. Individuals could possibly have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab facility that is in their network of providers and there may be other limitations like the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a good facility they like and meet with a rehabilitation specialist to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain substance abuse treatment solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some restrictions about the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehab is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered before you begin rehab so that it is clear how much time and individual can remain in the rehab program of preference.
