Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab solutions in terms of intensity of care, since the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a treatment program while receiving rehabilitation services. While this may appear perfect it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than a lot of people in rehabilitation need to experience a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug use problems are what are known in the field of drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must tackle both disorders when it's in rehabilitation in order to find resolution because one often triggers the other. Luckily, there are numerous drug and alcohol treatment centers who are able to specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders face in order to not merely become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not consider it wise to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Seniors/Older Adults

Seniors and older adults who have trouble with substance abuse could have unique challenges they have to conquer while in rehab, which rehab specialists in the rehab they opt to be a part of must be keen of in order that a full recovery is possible. So for seniors and older adults, it is prudent to pick a rehab that's acquainted with helping seniors and older adults address the unique life and substance abuse problems that these clients face which can include a broader spectrum of solutions including health care and the like.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and substance abuse as a result of problems that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem is often difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and other assistance services intended for them when substance abuse treatment is necessary. Aside from ASL, such services may include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired people are obtaining the support they require in drug and alcohol rehab.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug treatment centers have the staff or resources to cater to the needs of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately there are more and more programs that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Counselling, study data and the like are now frequently accessible in Spanish in both short and long terms centers which provide inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish treatment is also available nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but individuals in fact have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people face. Likewise, rehab centers will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment centers will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present another type of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehab program that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug and alcohol rehab facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with setting up the person's rehab plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through 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 rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only within the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some form of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers. Individuals might have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab center that's within their network of providers and there could be other limitations including the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a good facility they prefer and consult with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as partial hospitalization are paid for 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 regarding just how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehab so that it's clear the length of time and individual can remain in the rehabilitation program of choice.
