Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in many different settings with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to suit the varying needs of clients with any sort of and degree of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential centers now being paid by many insurance companies, there is no need to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who wants it.

Halfway House

A halfway house is a place that allows for a smooth transition if somebody is newly sober by themselves or has finished an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center and needs help re-acclimating to a regular lifestyle. Living in a halfway house, or sober living facility as they are sometimes called, an aspect of sentencing if a person is found guilty of drug charges also. If guidance is needed finding a halfway house, contact a drug treatment program and consult with a rehabilitation counselor that can point you in the right direction.

Residential Long-Term Treatment (More Than 30 Days)

Residential long-term rehab, which lasts for over thirty days, is an option that delivers the commensurate intensity of care and suitable environment for anybody struggling with a life threatening addiction and dependency problem. Because individuals will continue to be inside a residential long-term treatment center for approximately 120 days and even longer occasionally, these types of centers offer all of the amenities needed to make a client's remain as relaxed and amenable as it could possibly be while delivering quality rehabilitation to enable them to conquer their addiction for good.

Women

Women have to have quality treatment in rehab but might also need special focus on the distinctive issues they face because of their gender. Males and females not only face different and unique problems in daily life as a result of gender, but in addition may abuse alcohol and drugs for unique reasons. drug rehabilitation facilities which focus on women and the specific and unique needs that women encounter often helps significantly on a women's road to long term sobriety and a higher standard of living.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but people actually have a much more leverage simply because they can select whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women face. Likewise, treatment programs will often provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present any other form of private health care insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality treatment facility which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab program.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only in the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment facilities. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility that is within their network of providers and there may be other limitations including the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a quality center they prefer and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.
