Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse problems are what are recognized in the field of drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must address both disorders when it's in rehabilitation to find resolution due to the fact one often triggers the other. Luckily, there are lots of drug and alcohol treatment facilities who are able to specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders face so that they can not only become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never consider it wise to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Spanish

Not all drug treatment facilities have the staff or resources to focus on the needs of Spanish speaking clients, but thankfully there are more and more centers that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than previously. Therapy, study info and the like are now very often obtainable in Spanish in both long and short terms centers which deliver inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish treatment is also available around the country.

Other Languages

In every city in America there is someone being affected by substance abuse that isn't necessarily fluent in English, who may need treatment in whatever language it is they are fluent in so that their needs may be met properly when in rehabilitation. Luckily, there are numerous drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers that have counselors within their facility who speak other languages to make drug rehab the very best experience possible for any individual. Simply find a top quality drug rehab facility and find out if it is feasible to receive treatment in other languages.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but people in fact have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many men and women face. Likewise, rehab centers will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation facilities will take Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present some other kind of private health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may want to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation center that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab program.

Medicare

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

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only in the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug treatment service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug treatment facilities. Individuals could have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility which is in their network of providers and there may be other restrictions such as the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select a quality program they prefer and speak with a rehabilitation specialist to determine if their insurance will cover it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility made available from a variety of drug and alcohol treatment facilities in an effort to help individuals pay for treatment where this may not have been possible initially. For example, one client's fee for rehab could possibly be different and another individual whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to spend the money for full cost of treatment. Registrars consider other factors in addition to income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
