100% Confidential.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions regarding level of care, because the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a treatment center while undergoing treatment services. Even though this may seem ideal it may not provide the required change of environment than lots of people in rehab require to experience a successful rehab.

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 alcohol and drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must address both disorders while in rehab to find resolution simply because one usually exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are several alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs who can specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues face so that they can not just become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not consider it wise to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and substance abuse due to problems their impairment impose on them. While detection of this problem can sometimes be difficult among the hearing impaired, there are ASL and also other assistance services readily available for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is needed. Apart from ASL, such services may include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are receiving the help they need in drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but people in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can select whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women face. In addition, rehabilitation programs will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation centers will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present any other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehab program that will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug and alcohol rehab 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 physician, who must help in setting up the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation 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 treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only inside 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 rehabilitation service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug treatment centers. Individuals may have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab center that's within their network of providers and there may be other limitations such as how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent facility they like and meet with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain drug abuse treatment solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some limitations as to how much time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered before you start treatment so that it is clear how long and individual can stay in the treatment facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option offered by many different alcohol and drug rehab programs to help help individuals afford treatment where this may not have been doable originally. For example, one client's fee for rehab could be different and lower than someone else whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to pay the full expense of treatment. Registrars take into account variables apart from income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
