Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse problems are what are identified in the field of drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients.

Fortunately, there are several drug rehab centers who can specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face so that they can not only become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not wish to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Women

Males and females not just face different and unique problems in everyday life because of gender, but also may abuse alcohol and drugs for very different reasons. drug and alcohol treatment programs which focus on women and the distinctive and unique needs that women face can help enormously on the women's path to long term sobriety and a higher standard of living.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals really have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can select whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, treatment facilities will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers will take Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present some other kind of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals may want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality treatment center that will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug rehab programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in establishing the person's rehab plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab 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 costs of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only in the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug and alcohol treatment service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment centers. Individuals might have to take part in a drug rehab facility that is inside their network of providers and there may be other restrictions such as the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent program they like and speak with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain substance abuse rehab services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers and also partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some limitations regarding how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it's clear how much time and individual can stay in the rehab facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option provided by numerous alcohol and drug rehab facilities to help help clients afford rehab where this may not have been possible initially. By way of example, one client's fee for rehab could possibly be different and lower than another person whose finances are better making them better able to pay for the full price of treatment. Registrars consider other factors in addition to income including number of dependents to determine the final cost and using the sliding scale.
