Substance abuse treatment services are available in several settings and with different rehab lengths and plans to suit the various needs of clients with any sort of and level of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential centers now being included in many insurance plans, there is no need to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who needs it.

Residential Short-Term Treatment (30 Days Or Less)

Residential short-term treatment for 30 days or less is an option which permits individuals in recovery to have the very much required change of environment essential to have a chance at remaining abstinent. Residential treatment is the premiere option because individuals can feel comfortable and at home while receiving services. Residential short-term rehab for 30 days or less may not be long enough for certain individuals with more extreme addiction and dependency concerns, and this should always be looked into after the 30 days to ascertain if more extensive rehab is necessary.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders are what are identified in the field of drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must deal with both disorders whilst in rehabilitation to find resolution because one usually exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are several drug and alcohol treatment facilities who are able to specifically address the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders face so that they can not simply become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not wish to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Men

Similar to how men and women face varying and different challenges in everyday life which can be specific to their gender, women and men may also face distinctive challenges in rehabilitation that are gender specific, which is the reason a rehab designed specifically with these special needs and challenges in mind can be extremely ideal for someone searching for an effective rehab solution.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into rehabilitation as part of a court order in order to meet part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug rehabilitation frequently receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when being cooperative with drug and alcohol rehab requirements enforced on them in sentencing especially naturally when successfully completing a drug and alcohol rehab facility.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but people actually have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can select whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many people face. Likewise, rehab programs will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present another form of private health care insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality treatment facility which will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug rehabilitation program.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab facilities. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug rehab program which is inside their network of providers and there might be other restrictions for example just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a quality facility they like and meet with a rehabilitation specialist to find out if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain substance abuse rehab solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers as well as partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some restrictions about how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehab is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before you start treatment so that it is clear how much time and individual can remain in the rehabilitation program of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option offered by many different alcohol and drug treatment programs in order to help clients pay for treatment where this may not have been possible originally. As an example, one client's fee for rehab could possibly be different and less than somebody else whose financial situation is better making them more prepared to pay for the full expense of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account additional circumstances in addition to income including number of dependents to determine the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug treatment facilities offer payment assistance to help clients who may not have enough resources to self pay for rehabilitation or whose medical insurance won't supply coverage or full coverage for their stay. For example, Sometimes insurance only pays for a short-term facility when in actuality a long-term facility will probably be the more ideal selection. To find out what payment assistance could be offered, like a sliding fee scale, check with the facility for details.
