Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services with regards to intensity of care, for the reason that individual can preserve their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to be in a rehab program while undergoing rehab services. Even if this may appear ideal it might not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many individuals 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 problems are what are known in the field of drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must deal with both disorders while in rehab in order to find resolution due to the fact one usually triggers the other. Fortunately, there are many drug rehab programs who are able to specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders face so that they can not merely become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never consider it wise to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present any other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality treatment center which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug and alcohol rehab facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in setting up the person's rehab strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some kind of alcohol and drug treatment service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug treatment programs. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab facility which is within their network of providers and there might be other restrictions such as the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a quality program they like and meet with a treatment specialist to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular substance abuse rehab services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some limitations as to the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it's clear how long and individual can remain in the treatment facility of preference.
