Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions regarding level of care, because the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehabilitation center while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even though this may seem ideal it may not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than a lot of people in rehabilitation need to have a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders are what are recognized in the field of alcohol and drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must handle both disorders whilst in rehab in order to find resolution due to the fact one often exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are several drug and alcohol rehab programs who can specifically address the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face in order to not merely become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never want to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehab facilities possess the staff or resources to focus on the demands of Spanish speaking clientele, but luckily there are more and more facilities that can do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than any other time. Therapy, study information and stuff like that are actually frequently available in Spanish in both short and long terms centers which provide inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish treatment is also available nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't cover the total cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage because they can select whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. In addition, rehabilitation facilities will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present some other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals might want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehab facility which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehab facility.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only within the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some type of drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities. Individuals may have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program that's within their network of providers and there could be other limitations like the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a good program they prefer and consult with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.
