Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in many different settings along with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to suit the varying demands of clients with any type of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being covered by many insurance plans, there's no need to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who needs it.

Detoxification

Detoxification from drugs and alcohol is a course of action which can be made considerably more manageable and safely overseen when in a professional detoxification or drug treatment program. Often detoxification isn't without risk, and even with the best of intentions people who undergo detoxification by themselves so that they can get sober could really be putting their health or perhaps their lives at risk. It is always better to seek detoxification services inside a professional facility in order to avoid such hazards as well as have a smooth transition from detoxification to treatment at a top quality drug rehab program.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions with regards to level of care, because the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to be in a rehabilitation program while undergoing treatment services. Even if this may seem ideal it might not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many people in rehab need to have a productive rehabilitation.

Adolescents

When adolescents get involved in any type of drug abuse, it is important that they obtain top quality care to halt the situation in its tracks so that it doesn't get any worse and perhaps jeopardize their future. Because adolescent drug abuse which persists often carries on into adulthood, mothers and fathers must remain astute and get their adolescent rehab the moment an issue is observed in a center which addresses adolescent drug abuse. Several programs which treat adolescents offer both inpatient and residential treatment, which has been shown to be the perfect settings for treatment clients of this age.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders are what are known in the field of drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must address both disorders while in rehab to find resolution because one typically triggers the other. Luckily, there are numerous alcohol and drug treatment facilities that can specifically address the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face to be able to not only become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never want to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use due to problems that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this problem can be difficult among the hearing impaired, there are ASL as well as other assistance services intended for them when drug abuse rehab is necessary. Aside from ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired people are receiving the support they need in alcohol and drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, rehab facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present another kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality treatment facility which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug treatment facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug and alcohol rehab programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in setting up the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient solutions 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 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 are not an option. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only within the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some form of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab facilities. Individuals could have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility that is in their network of providers and there may be other limitations such as just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a quality program they prefer and meet with a treatment counselor to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some limitations as to how much time a stay in inpatient drug rehab is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before beginning rehab so that it's clear how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation program of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility made available from a number of drug and alcohol treatment facilities in order to help individuals pay for treatment where this may not have been doable initially. For instance, one client's price for rehab may be different and somebody else whose financial situation is better which makes them better able to pay the full cost of treatment. Registrars take into consideration other factors apart from income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost and using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug and alcohol treatment programs offer payment assistance to help individuals who might not have enough resources to self pay for treatment or whose health insurance won't provide coverage or total coverage for his or her stay. As an example, Sometimes insurance only pays for a short-term program when in actuality a long-term center will likely be the more ideal selection. To see what payment assistance might be available, such as a sliding fee scale, check with the center for particulars.
