Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a variety of settings with various rehabilitation lengths and plans to accommodate the various needs of clients with any type of and level of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being included in many insurance companies, there's no need to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services with regards to intensity of care, since the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to stay in a rehab facility while undergoing rehab services. While this might appear perfect it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than lots of people in rehabilitation require to have a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse problems are what are identified in the field of drug and alcohol rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must address both disorders when it's in rehabilitation to find resolution because one often triggers the other. Luckily, there are many drug rehab programs that can specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face so that they can not just become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never feel the need to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into rehabilitation due to a court order to fulfill a part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehab frequently receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when cooperating with drug rehabilitation requirements enforced on them in sentencing and also naturally when successfully completing an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program.

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 discovery of the issue can sometimes be difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and other assistance services readily available for them when substance abuse treatment is needed. Besides ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are getting the help they require in drug and alcohol treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals in fact have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many individuals face. In addition, rehabilitation programs will often offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present another type of private health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals might want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehab center which will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation program.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only in the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some form of drug and alcohol treatment service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehab programs. Individuals may have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program which is inside their network of providers and there might be other limitations including the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a good center they like and speak with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.
