Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment services regarding level of care, for the reason that individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to remain in a rehabilitation facility while receiving treatment services. Although this may appear ideal it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many individuals in rehab need to have a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse problems are what are identified in the field of alcohol and drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must handle both disorders when it's in rehab in order to find resolution due to the fact one usually exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are several drug and alcohol rehab programs who are able to specifically address the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders face in order to not simply become sober but mentally stable 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 predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse due to the problems their impairment impose on them. While detection of this issue can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and other assistance services designed for them when substance abuse rehab is necessary. Apart from ASL, such services might include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired folks are receiving the help they need in drug and alcohol treatment.

Spanish

Not all drug rehabilitation programs have the staff or wherewithal to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clients, but luckily there are more and more programs that can do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than previously. Therapy, study information and the like are now very often obtainable in Spanish in both long and short terms facilities which provide inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available around the country.

Other Languages

In each and every city in America there's someone experiencing substance abuse that isn't necessarily fluent in English, who may need treatment in whichever language it is they are fluent in to ensure that their needs can be catered to properly while in rehab. Fortunately, there are many drug rehab centers which have counselors within their facility who speak other languages to make alcohol and drug treatment the very best experience possible for any individual. Simply look for a quality drug and alcohol rehab facility and inquire if it is feasible to receive rehab in other languages.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many people face. Likewise, treatment facilities will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present any other form of private health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals might want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehab facility that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in setting up the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some form of alcohol and drug treatment service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab centers. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment program which is in their network of providers and there might be other restrictions like the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a quality facility they like and speak with a rehabilitation specialist to find out if their insurance will handle it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility offered by a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs to help help clients pay for treatment where this may not have been doable initially. By way of example, one client's price for rehab may be different and someone else whose finances are better which makes them better able to pay the full expense of rehab. Registrars take into account variables apart from income including amount of dependents to determine the final cost and using the sliding scale.
