Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services in terms of level of care, as the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehab center while undergoing rehabilitation services. Although this may seem ideal it may not provide the required change of atmosphere than a lot of people in treatment require to have a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues are what are known in the field of alcohol and drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must deal with both disorders whilst in rehabilitation to find resolution because one typically triggers the other. Fortunately, there are numerous alcohol and drug rehab facilities that can specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face so that they can not simply become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Persons With HIV/AIDS

Persons with HIV/AIDS who may need substance abuse rehab will very often require solutions beyond what a standard drug and alcohol rehabilitation program will be able to deliver. Because comprehensive healthcare solutions in many cases are a key part of the physical recovery process for addicts with HIV/AIDS, who most likely have experienced a progression and worsening of the disease because of their habit, it is essential that these clients obtain the health care required along with any rehabilitation services for their substance abuse issue.

Gays and Lesbians

It is essential that gays and lesbians obtain quality rehab services in a rehabilitation environment that's discreet and with rehabilitation professionals available to them who understand the unique challenges they experience in life. Because drug use for gays and lesbians might be triggered because of the challenges they face because of their sexual preference, a rehab which can help them resolve these issues and give them the peace of mind they may have lacked prior to arriving in rehab could be a crucial aspect of rehabilitation for gay and lesbian clients.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into rehab due to a court order to satisfy a part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehabilitation frequently receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when being cooperative with alcohol and drug rehabilitation requirements enforced on them in sentencing especially of course when successfully completing an alcohol and drug treatment facility.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol rehab programs have the staff or wherewithal to cater to the needs of Spanish speaking clientele, but thankfully there are more and more facilities that are able to do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than any other time. Therapy, study data and the like are actually very often obtainable in Spanish in both short and long terms facilities which deliver inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish treatment is available too around the country.

Medicaid

Some treatment programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present another form of private health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals might want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehab facility which will get better results, like a long-term residential drug rehabilitation center.
