Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services regarding level of care, since the individual can keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to stay in a treatment program while receiving treatment services. Even if this may seem perfect it may not provide the much needed change of environment than many people in treatment have to have to have a productive rehab.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and substance abuse because of the problems that their impairment impose on them. While detection of this issue can sometimes be difficult among the hearing impaired, there are ASL along with other assistance services available for them when substance abuse treatment is necessary. Aside from ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are getting the help they require in alcohol and drug treatment.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities have the staff or resources to cater to the needs of Spanish speaking clientele, but thankfully there are more and more centers that will do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than previously. Counselling, study data and the like are now frequently obtainable in Spanish in both long and short terms centers which deliver inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehab is available too nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but people in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many people encounter. In addition, rehabilitation facilities will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug rehabilitation centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in establishing the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug rehab service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug rehab program which is within their network of providers and there may be other restrictions such as how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a quality facility they like and speak with a rehabilitation specialist to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain substance abuse treatment solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There could be some restrictions about the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered before beginning rehabilitation so that it is clear just how long and individual can remain in the rehabilitation program of choice.
