Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment services regarding intensity of care, for the reason that individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to remain in a treatment center while undergoing treatment services. Although this may appear ideal it might not provide the much needed change of surroundings than a lot of people in rehab require to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug use issues are what are recognized in the field of drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must handle both disorders during treatment to find resolution because one usually exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are many alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers who can specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face to be able to not just become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never want to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients get into rehab as part of a court ruling to meet a part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehab frequently receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when cooperating with drug rehab requirements enforced on them as part of sentencing especially of course when successfully completing an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many people encounter. Likewise, treatment centers will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehab facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present another form of private health care insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehab center which will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug and alcohol rehab facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in setting up the individual's treatment plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Part B.
