Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab solutions regarding intensity of care, since the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation center while undergoing rehab services. While this might seem perfect it might not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than lots of people in recovery 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 rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must deal with both disorders while in rehabilitation to find resolution due to the fact one usually triggers the other. Luckily, there are many drug and alcohol rehab centers who can specifically hone in on the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face in order to not just become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not want to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into rehab as part of a court ruling in order to meet a part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehab frequently receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when cooperating with drug rehabilitation specifications enforced with them in sentencing and particularly of course when successfully completing an alcohol and drug rehab program.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol treatment programs possess the staff or resources to focus on the requirements of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately there are more and more centers that are able to do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Therapy, study info and so on are now very often accessible in Spanish in both short and long terms programs which provide inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is available too nationwide.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present another form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehabilitation center which will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug and alcohol treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in establishing the person's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only within the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals may have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program that's within their network of providers and there can be other limitations like the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a quality center they prefer and consult with a rehab specialist to find out if their insurance covers it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility provided by a variety of drug treatment programs in an effort to help individuals afford treatment where this may not have been doable originally. For example, one client's price for rehab could be different and lower than someone else whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to pay the full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account variables besides income including number of dependents to determine the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug rehabilitation facilities provide payment assistance to help clients who might possibly not have enough resources to self pay for rehabilitation or whose health insurance won't supply coverage or full coverage for his or her stay. For example, Occasionally insurance only covers a short-term facility when in actuality a long-term program will likely be the more ideal option. To find out what payment assistance could be available, such as a sliding fee scale, consult the program for details.
