Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders are what are known in the field of drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must address both disorders when it's in rehabilitation to find resolution because one usually exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are lots of drug and alcohol rehab facilities who are able to specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face so that they can not simply become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never consider it wise to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Persons With HIV/AIDS

Persons with HIV/AIDS who require drug abuse rehab will usually need solutions beyond what a standard drug and alcohol rehab program will be able to deliver. Simply because comprehensive healthcare services will often be a vital aspect of the physical process of recovery for addicts with HIV/AIDS, who likely have experienced a progression and worsening of the disease because of their addiction, it is important that these clients have the medical care necessary together with any rehabilitation solutions for their drug use problem.

Gays and Lesbians

It is essential that gays and lesbians acquire quality treatment solutions in a rehabilitation setting which is discreet and has rehab specialists available to them who understand the unique problems they have to deal with in life. Because substance abuse for gays and lesbians is sometimes triggered by the problems they face because of their sexual preference, a facility that can help them handle these issues and give them the peace of mind they may have lacked before arriving in rehabilitation is usually a crucial aspect of recovery for gay and lesbian clients.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into treatment as part of a court order to fulfill part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol treatment often receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when cooperating with drug and alcohol rehab requirements enforced on them as part of sentencing specifically of course when successfully graduating a drug rehabilitation center.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage due to the fact they can select whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many people encounter. In addition, treatment centers will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some treatment programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present some other kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may wish 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, say for example a long-term residential drug rehabilitation center.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If a person doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might be eligible for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some type of drug treatment service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab facility that is within their network of providers and there might be other restrictions such as the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select an excellent center they like and speak with a rehab specialist to find out if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some restrictions about how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it is clear how long and individual can remain in the rehabilitation program of preference.
