Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a variety of settings along with different treatment lengths and plans to accommodate the various demands of clients with any kind of and level of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being covered by many insurance companies, you shouldn't have to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment services with regards to level of care, because the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehabilitation program while receiving rehabilitation services. Even if this might appear ideal it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many people in rehab have to have to have a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems are what are recognized in the field of drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must address both disorders whilst in rehabilitation in order to find resolution simply because one usually exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are many drug and alcohol treatment facilities that can specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues face in order to not simply become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not consider it wise to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into rehab as part of a court ruling to satisfy a part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehab frequently receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when cooperating with drug treatment specifications enforced on them in sentencing specifically naturally when successfully completing an alcohol and drug rehab center.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse due to the challenges their impairment impose on them. While detection of this issue can sometimes be difficult among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL as well as other assistance services readily available for them when substance abuse rehabilitation is required. Aside from ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired people are getting the support they require in drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't cover the entire cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but individuals actually have a much more leverage simply because they can decide on whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehab programs will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment centers accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present any other type of private health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals might want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehabilitation program which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in setting up the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option made available from a number of alcohol and drug treatment centers to help help individuals pay for rehabilitation where this might not have been doable initially. For example, one client's price for rehab might be different and lower than another individual whose financial situation is better which makes them more prepared to spend the money for full expense of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account additional circumstances apart from income including number of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.
