ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use due to problems that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem can be hard among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL along with other assistance services designed for them when substance abuse rehab is required. Aside from ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are obtaining the support they require in drug and alcohol treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but people in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. In addition, rehab programs will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present any other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals may want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehab center that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment facility.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office in 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 rehabilitation, but generally only in the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab facilities. Individuals could possibly have to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment program which is inside their network of providers and there can be other restrictions such as how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a good program they like and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance will take care of it.
