Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of intensity of care, because the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to be in a treatment facility while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even though this may appear ideal it may not provide the required change of environment than a lot of people in rehab require to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Partial Hospitalization/Day Treatment

Partial hospitalization, or Day Treatment as it's sometimes referred to as, is a type of drug and alcohol rehab facility meant for many who need and require a comprehensive and organized rehabilitation plan and atmosphere yet don't need 24 hours a day care. It can help make people in rehabilitation remain supported treatment course of action without interfering with other day to day activities they might need to maintain during treatment. Partial hospitalization/Day Treatment is also an alternative for individuals who have completely finished an inpatient or residential program and need help with the smooth transition back into an average drug free way of life.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues are what are identified in the field of alcohol and drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must handle both disorders while in rehabilitation to find resolution because one typically exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are many alcohol and drug treatment centers who can specifically hone in on the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders face so that they can not just become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never feel the need to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use as a result of problems their impairment impose on them. While detection of this issue can sometimes be difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and other assistance services available for them when drug abuse treatment is necessary. Apart from ASL, such services can include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired people are obtaining the support they require in drug treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage simply because they can select whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. In addition, treatment programs will often provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities accept Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present any other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab 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're able to to cover a more quality treatment center that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug rehabilitation centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some type of drug and alcohol treatment service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehab centers. Individuals might have to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment program that is in their network of providers and there might be other restrictions such as how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent center they like and meet with a treatment counselor to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain substance abuse treatment 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 in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There could be some restrictions about just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered prior to starting rehab so that it's clear the length of time and individual can stay in the rehabilitation facility of choice.
