Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services in terms of intensity of care, for the reason that individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to be in a rehab facility while receiving treatment services. Even if this might seem ideal it may not provide the much needed change of environment than lots of people in recovery need to experience a successful rehab.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol treatment programs have the staff or resources to cater to the demands of Spanish speaking clientele, but thankfully there are more and more facilities that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Therapy, study info and the like are actually frequently available in Spanish in both long and short terms programs which deliver inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is also available nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many men and women face. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If a person doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only inside the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some form of drug rehab service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug treatment centers. Individuals could have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab program that is within their network of providers and there could be other limitations like the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a quality program they like and speak with a treatment specialist to determine if their insurance will handle it.
