  • A recent article written in the New York Times points out that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates that the ADHD diagnosis has been made in 15 percent of high school-age children, and that the number of children on prescription drugs such as Ritalin and Adderall has risen significantly to an astounding 3.5 million currently from 600,000 in 1990.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a number of settings and with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to suit the various demands 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's no need to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services in terms of intensity of care, as the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to remain in a rehab program while receiving treatment services. Although this might appear perfect it may not provide the much needed change of environment than lots of people in recovery need to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse problems are what are known in the field of drug and alcohol treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must tackle both disorders during rehabilitation in order to find resolution simply because one usually exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are many drug treatment centers who can specifically hone in on the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face to be able to not just 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.

Seniors/Older Adults

Seniors and older adults who battle with substance abuse could possibly have distinctive obstacles they have to conquer while in treatment, which rehab professionals in the center they decide to take part in should be keen of to ensure that a full recovery is possible. So for seniors and older adults, it is wise to decide on a center which is accustomed to helping seniors and older adults tackle the distinctive life and substance abuse problems that these clients face that might include a wider spectrum of services including medical treatment and so on.

Women

Women need high quality treatment in rehab but may also need special awareness of the distinctive challenges they face because of gender. Men and women not only face different and unique challenges in life as a consequence of gender, but also may abuse alcohol and drugs for very different reasons. alcohol and drug treatment programs which appeal to women and the specific and unique needs that women face often helps enormously on the women's road to permanent sobriety and a higher quality lifestyle.

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 could also encounter unique challenges in treatment that are gender-specific, which is the reason a rehab specifically designed with these unique needs and challenges at heart can be be extremely helpful for someone looking for a powerful treatment option.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders are often given the option or ordered to rehab as a term of their sentencing. Sometimes, the offender can decide which treatment center they would like to attend. Upon successful completion, DUI and DWI offenders can take advantage of reduced sentencing options in order to progress in their lives without getting penalized any further.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into treatment due to a court ruling to satisfy part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug treatment often receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when cooperating with drug and alcohol rehab requirements enforced on them as part of sentencing specifically naturally when successfully completing a drug rehab facility.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehab programs possess the staff or wherewithal to focus on the needs of Spanish speaking clientele, but fortunately there are more and more centers that will do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than any other time. Therapy, study information and so on are actually very often accessible in Spanish in both long and short terms programs which deliver inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is available too around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover 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 choose whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehab centers will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers accept Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present some other form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehab program that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehabilitation facility.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some form of alcohol and drug treatment service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment centers. Individuals might have to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment program which is in their network of providers and there could be other limitations including the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent center they like and meet with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance will take care of it.
