Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions in terms of level of care, for the reason that individual can maintain their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehab program while receiving rehabilitation services. Even if this may seem perfect it will not provide the required change of environment than many people in rehab require to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues are what are known in the field of alcohol and drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must handle both disorders whilst in treatment in order to find resolution due to the fact one often exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are lots of alcohol and drug rehab centers who are able to specifically hone in on the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues face in order to not simply become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not consider it wise to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse due to challenges that their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem can often be hard among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL as well as other assistance services available for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is needed. Aside from ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired folks are obtaining the support they require in drug treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals really have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many individuals face. In addition, treatment programs will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment centers accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present any other form of private health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation center that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug rehabilitation programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in setting up the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehab service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehab programs. Individuals could have to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment program which is inside their network of providers and there might be other limitations including the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select a quality center they prefer and meet with a treatment counselor to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain drug abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities and also partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some limitations about how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehab so that it's clear just how long and individual can stay in the rehab center of choice.
