Detoxification

Detoxification from alcohol and drugs is a process which can be made far more manageable and safely overseen when in a professional detoxification or alcohol and drug rehab program. Sometimes detoxification isn't risk-free, and even with good intentions people who undergo detoxification on their own in an effort to get sober may very well be putting their own health as well as their lives in danger. It is usually far better to seek out detoxification services inside a professional center in order to avoid such risks as well as have a smooth progression from detoxification to rehab in a quality alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse because of the challenges their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this problem is often hard among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL along with other assistance services available for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is necessary. Aside from ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are getting the help they need in drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, rehab facilities will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present some other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality treatment center that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug rehab programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in establishing the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other type 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 expense of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other kinds 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 may be eligible for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only within the state which offers the insurance plan.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option provided by a variety of drug treatment facilities to help help individuals afford treatment where this might not have been possible initially. By way of example, one client's price for rehabilitation could possibly be different and another person whose financial situation is better making them better able to spend the money for full expense of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account other factors aside from income including amount of dependents to determine the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
