Outpatient

Although this might seem ideal it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than lots of people in rehabilitation need to have a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders are what are recognized in the field of drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients.

Persons with HIV/AIDS who require drug abuse rehab will often require services beyond what a standard drug and alcohol rehabilitation center can provide. Because extensive medical solutions tend to be an integral aspect of the physical process of healing for addicts with HIV/AIDS, who more than likely have experienced a progression and worsening of the disease because of their habit, it is important that these clients obtain the health care needed in conjunction with any rehab services for their drug use problem.

Seniors/Older Adults

Other than ASL, such services may include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are receiving the help they require in alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug treatment programs have the staff or wherewithal to focus on the needs of Spanish speaking clientele, but fortunately there are more and more facilities that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than previously. Therapy, study data and stuff like that are now frequently accessible in Spanish in both short and long terms facilities which deliver inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish treatment is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals really have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many people face. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present some other type of private health care insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehab center that will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at alcohol and drug rehab centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only in the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some type of alcohol and drug treatment service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals may have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab center that is in their network of providers and there could be other limitations such as how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a quality center they prefer and consult with a treatment counselor to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain drug abuse treatment solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers and also partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some limitations concerning the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before you start rehab so that it is clear how long and individual can remain in the treatment center of choice.
