Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a number of settings with various rehab lengths and plans to suit the varying needs of clients with any type of and degree of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential centers now being included in many insurance companies, you shouldn't have to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions with regards to level of care, as the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to be in a treatment program while receiving treatment services. While this might seem perfect it will not provide the required change of environment than many people in recovery require to have a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues are what are recognized in the field of drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must address both disorders when it's in rehabilitation to find resolution due to the fact one usually triggers the other. Fortunately, there are numerous drug and alcohol treatment programs who can specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues face to be able to not merely become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never wish to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can select whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people face. In addition, treatment facilities will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present any other type of private health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals might want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality treatment center which will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation program.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office in 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 generally only within the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some type of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab centers. Individuals could have to participate in a drug rehabilitation center that's within their network of providers and there can be other restrictions including just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a good program they prefer and meet with a treatment specialist to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility made available from numerous alcohol and drug treatment facilities in order to help clients afford treatment where this may not have been possible initially. By way of example, one client's fee for treatment might be different and another person whose finances are better making them more prepared to spend the money for full price of rehab. Registrars take into account variables in addition to income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
