Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions with regards to level of care, since the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation program while receiving treatment services. While this may appear ideal it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than lots of people in treatment have to have to experience a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues are what are identified in the field of alcohol and drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must tackle both disorders when it's in rehab in order to find resolution simply because one often triggers the other. Fortunately, there are several drug rehab facilities who are able to specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face so that they can not simply become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not consider it wise to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use due to the problems that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this issue can sometimes be difficult among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL and also other assistance services available for them when substance abuse rehabilitation is needed. Apart from ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are receiving the help they need in drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but people really have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many individuals encounter. In addition, rehab centers will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present any other form of private health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality treatment center that will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug treatment programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in establishing the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only in the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some form of drug and alcohol rehab service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals could have to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment program that is within their network of providers and there might be other limitations such as the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select a quality facility they prefer and meet with a treatment counselor to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain substance abuse treatment solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There could be some restrictions about just how long a stay in inpatient drug rehab is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehab so that it is clear how much time and individual can remain in the rehabilitation facility of choice.
