Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a number of settings along with various treatment lengths and plans to accommodate the various needs of clients with any type of and amount of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential programs now being paid by many insurance plans, you shouldn't have to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services with regards to intensity of care, as the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation facility while undergoing treatment services. Even if this may appear ideal it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many people in treatment have to have to have a productive rehabilitation.

Adolescents

When adolescents become involved in any kind of drug use, it is important that they obtain top quality care to stop the problem in its tracks so that it doesn't get any worse and possibly put their future in jeopardy. Because adolescent drug abuse which continues often continues into one's adult life, parents must stay astute and get their adolescent treatment as soon as an issue is observed in a facility which addresses adolescent drug use. Several facilities which treat adolescents supply both inpatient and residential rehab, that has been proven to be the most beneficial settings for rehab clients of this age.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug use problems are what are recognized in the field of drug and alcohol rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must handle both disorders when it's in rehab in order to find resolution simply because one typically triggers the other. Luckily, there are several drug and alcohol treatment centers who are able to specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues face to enable them to not simply become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never consider it wise to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but individuals really have a much more leverage because they can select whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people face. Likewise, treatment programs will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab centers accept Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present any other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality treatment facility which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehab facility.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only inside the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some sort of alcohol and drug rehab service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab facilities. Individuals may have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab program which is within their network of providers and there can be other limitations such as the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a quality program they like and speak with a rehabilitation specialist 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 services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some limitations as to the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehab is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before you start rehab so that it is clear how much time and individual can stay in the rehabilitation program of choice.
