Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a number of settings along with different rehab lengths and plans to suit the varying demands of clients with any type of and level of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being included in many insurance plans, there's no need to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anybody who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services in terms of intensity of care, as the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation center while undergoing rehab services. While this might seem ideal it will not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many individuals in rehabilitation have to have to have a productive rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems are what are known in the field of alcohol and drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must handle both disorders during treatment in order to find resolution simply because one typically exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are lots of alcohol and drug treatment programs who are able to specifically address the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders face to enable them to not merely become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders are often given the choice or ordered to rehab as a term of their sentencing. In many cases, the offender can decide which treatment program they wish to enroll in. When successfully completed, DUI and DWI offenders can take advantage of reduced sentencing options to be able to move ahead in their lives without having to be penalized any further.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into rehabilitation due to a court order to fulfill part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug treatment frequently receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when cooperating with drug and alcohol treatment specifications enforced with them in sentencing specifically naturally when successfully completing a drug and alcohol treatment facility.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but individuals really have a much more leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people face. Likewise, treatment centers will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present some other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehabilitation center which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment facility.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some sort of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehab centers. Individuals may have to participate in a drug rehab facility that's within their network of providers and there can be other limitations including the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a good center they prefer and meet with a rehabilitation specialist to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option offered by a variety of drug treatment programs to help help clients pay for rehab where this might not have been doable originally. For example, one client's price for treatment could possibly be different and somebody else whose financial situation is better making them more prepared to spend the money for full price of treatment. Registrars take into account other factors apart from income including number of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.
