With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential centers now being included in many insurance companies, there is no need to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment solutions regarding intensity of care, because the individual can maintain their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to remain in a treatment program while receiving treatment services.

Adolescents

When adolescents become involved in any kind of drug use, it is crucial that they receive high quality care to halt the problem in its tracks so that it doesn't worsen and perhaps jeopardize their future.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

These individuals must handle both disorders whilst in treatment to find resolution due to the fact one usually triggers the other.

Criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehab frequently receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when cooperating with drug and alcohol rehabilitation requirements enforced with them as part of sentencing especially of course when successfully graduating a drug and alcohol rehab center.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse due to the problems their impairment impose on them.

Apart from ASL, such services can include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are getting the support they need in alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a much more leverage because they can select whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter. In addition, rehab facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present some other form of private health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality treatment facility which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment facility.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they should check with 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 treatment, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some form of alcohol and drug rehab service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals may have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab center that is within their network of providers and there can be other limitations like the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a good center they like and speak with a rehab counselor to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.
