Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions in terms of level of care, as the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to be in a rehabilitation facility while receiving rehab services. Although this might appear ideal it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many people in treatment need to experience a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues are what are identified in the field of alcohol and drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must tackle both disorders whilst in rehabilitation to find resolution simply because one often triggers the other. Luckily, there are many drug rehabilitation programs that can specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues face in order to not just 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.

Persons With HIV/AIDS

Persons with HIV/AIDS who require substance abuse treatment will often require solutions beyond what a standard drug and alcohol rehab center can deliver. Simply because extensive medical services will often be a key aspect of the physical process of healing for addicts with HIV/AIDS, who most likely have experienced a progression and worsening of the disease because of their addiction, it is important that these clients have the medical care needed in conjunction with any rehab services for their substance abuse problem.

Gays and Lesbians

It is crucial that gays and lesbians receive excellent treatment solutions within a treatment setting that's discreet and with rehab specialists available to them who comprehend the distinctive problems that they can have to deal with in life. Because drug abuse for gays and lesbians is sometimes triggered because of the challenges they face due to their sexual preference, a rehab which will help them handle these issues and give them the confidence they may have lacked prior to arriving in rehabilitation can be quite a crucial aspect of rehabilitation for gay and lesbian clients.

Seniors/Older Adults

Seniors and older adults who struggle with drug abuse could have distinctive obstacles they have to conquer during treatment, which rehab professionals within the program they elect to be a part of have to be keen of to ensure a full recovery may be possible. So for seniors and older adults, it is prudent to select a program that is familiar with helping seniors and older adults tackle the unique life and drug abuse problems that these clients face that might include a broader spectrum of services including health care and the like.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients get into rehab due to a court order to satisfy part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehabilitation frequently receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when cooperating with drug rehab requirements enforced with them as part of sentencing and particularly naturally when successfully completing an alcohol and drug treatment center.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and drug abuse because of the problems their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the issue is often hard among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and other assistance services designed for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is necessary. Apart from ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired folks are obtaining the support they require in alcohol and drug treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can decide on whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women face. Likewise, treatment programs will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some treatment programs accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present another type of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals might want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation facility that will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug rehabilitation facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in setting up the person's rehab strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered 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 rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug rehab service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals might have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center that's in their network of providers and there can be other limitations such as the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a quality program they like and meet with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some restrictions as to how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before beginning rehabilitation so that it is clear the length of time and individual can stay in the rehab program of choice.
