Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services in terms of level of care, because the individual can preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to stay in a rehabilitation facility while receiving rehabilitation services. Even though this might seem perfect it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than lots of people in recovery have to have to experience a productive rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders are what are known in the field of drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must deal with both disorders whilst in rehabilitation to find resolution simply because one often exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are several drug rehabilitation programs that can specifically hone in on the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face to be able to not simply become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never want to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Criminal Justice Clients

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

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use as a result of problems that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the issue can be hard among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL along with other assistance services intended for them when substance abuse rehab is needed. Besides ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired people are obtaining the support they require in drug and alcohol treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but people in fact have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, treatment centers will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present any other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality treatment center which will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab center.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

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

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option made available from a variety of drug and alcohol rehab centers in order to help individuals pay for rehabilitation where this may not have been possible initially. For example, one client's price for rehabilitation could possibly be different and less than another individual whose financial situation is better making them better able to pay for the full price of treatment. Registrars take into consideration variables besides income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost and using the sliding scale.
