Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services in terms of intensity of care, as the individual can preserve their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehab facility while receiving treatment services. While this might appear perfect it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many individuals in rehab have to have to have a productive rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and drug abuse as a result of problems that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem can often be hard among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and other assistance services available for them when drug abuse rehab is necessary. Besides ASL, such services may include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are obtaining the support they need in drug and alcohol rehab.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities possess the staff or resources to focus on the demands of Spanish speaking clientele, but thankfully there are more and more facilities that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Counselling, study data and the like are actually very often accessible in Spanish in both short and long terms facilities which deliver inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but individuals really have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, rehabilitation facilities will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment centers accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present another type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality treatment facility which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug treatment centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in establishing the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. When someone does not have any 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 figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically 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 kind of drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs. Individuals may have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab facility which is inside their network of providers and there might be other limitations including just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a good facility they prefer and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain drug abuse rehab services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs and also partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some limitations about just how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered before you start rehabilitation so that it is clear how much time and individual can stay in the rehab center of preference.
