Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a number of settings along with various rehab lengths and plans to suit the varying demands of clients with any sort of and level of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being paid by many insurance companies, you don't have to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services regarding level of care, since the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to remain in a rehab center while receiving treatment services. Although this might appear perfect it will not provide the required change of atmosphere than many individuals in rehab need to have a productive rehab.

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 rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must tackle both disorders during treatment in order to find resolution because one typically triggers the other. Fortunately, there are numerous drug and alcohol rehab facilities who are able to specifically address the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face to be able to not merely become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never want to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders are often given the possibility or ordered to rehabilitation as part of sentencing. In many cases, the offender can pick which rehabilitation program they would like to attend. Upon successful completion, DUI and DWI offenders can take advantage of reduced sentencing options to enable them to move ahead in their lives without having to be penalized any more.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients get into rehab as part of a court order to satisfy part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug treatment often receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when being cooperative with drug treatment specifications enforced on them as part of sentencing especially of course when successfully graduating a drug treatment center.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many individuals encounter. In addition, rehabilitation centers will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs will take Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present another type of private health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals may want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality treatment program that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug treatment facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the program 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 individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some kind of alcohol and drug rehab service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab programs. Individuals may have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility which is in their network of providers and there can be other limitations including the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent program they like and meet with a rehab counselor to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.
