Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment services with regards to level of care, because the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to be in a rehabilitation center while receiving rehabilitation services. Even if this might appear ideal it might not provide the much needed change of environment than many people in recovery require to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues are what are identified in the field of drug and alcohol rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must deal with both disorders when it's in treatment in order to find resolution due to the fact one usually exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are lots of drug and alcohol rehab facilities who are able to specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders face to enable them to not merely become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not want to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use due to the problems that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the issue can sometimes be hard among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL along with other assistance services intended for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is required. Other than ASL, such services can include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are receiving the support they need in alcohol and drug treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't 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 great deal of leverage due to the fact they can select whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter. In addition, rehabilitation programs will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment centers accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present any other type of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals might want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehab center that will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug treatment programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in setting up the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they can talk with 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 treatment, but usually only in the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some type of alcohol and drug rehab service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab programs. Individuals might have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab facility that is within their network of providers and there may be other limitations such as the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent center they like and consult with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.
