Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to intensity of care, because the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to remain in a rehab facility while undergoing rehabilitation services. While this may appear perfect it may not provide the required change of environment than a lot of people in treatment have to have to experience a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders are what are known in the field of alcohol and drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must address both disorders during treatment to find resolution due to the fact one often triggers the other. Fortunately, there are several drug and alcohol rehab facilities who are able to specifically address the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues face so that they can not simply become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse because of the challenges that their impairment impose on them. While detection of the issue can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and other assistance services designed for them when drug abuse rehab is necessary. Other than ASL, such services may include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are obtaining the support they require in drug and alcohol rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but individuals actually have a much more leverage simply because they can decide on whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many individuals encounter. In addition, treatment programs will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers accept Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present any other form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehab facility which will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug and alcohol treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in setting up the person's treatment plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug and alcohol treatment service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab facilities. Individuals might have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center that's in their network of providers and there may be other restrictions including the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a good facility they like and consult with a rehabilitation specialist to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain substance abuse treatment services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities as well as 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 consultant. There could be some restrictions as to how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it's clear how long and individual can stay in the treatment facility of preference.
