Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions regarding intensity of care, for the reason that individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to be in a treatment program while receiving rehab services. While this may appear ideal it will not provide the much needed change of environment than many people in rehabilitation have to have to have a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems are what are known in the field of drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must handle both disorders during rehab to find resolution simply because one typically exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are lots of drug and alcohol treatment centers 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 stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not feel the need to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

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 discovery of this problem can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and other assistance services available for them when substance abuse treatment is needed. Besides ASL, such services may include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired folks are obtaining the help they require in drug rehab.

Spanish

Not all drug rehab programs possess the staff or resources to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clients, but luckily there are more and more centers that can do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Therapy, study information and the like are now very often obtainable in Spanish in both long and short terms programs which deliver inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can select whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many men and women face. Likewise, rehab centers will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present some other form of private health care insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals may choose to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehab facility which will produce better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the person's rehab plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other type 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 can be used to cover the expense of drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only within the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some type of alcohol and drug rehab service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities. Individuals might have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment facility that is within their network of providers and there might be other limitations like how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a good program they like and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance will cover it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility provided by many different alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in an effort to help individuals pay for rehabilitation where this may not have been possible originally. By way of example, one client's fee for rehab might be different and somebody else whose financial situation is better which makes them more prepared to spend the money for full expense of treatment. Registrars take into consideration additional factors aside from income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
