Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment services with regards to level of care, because the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to be in a rehabilitation center while receiving rehabilitation services. Even if this might appear ideal it might not provide the much needed change of environment than many people in recovery require to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues are what are identified in the field of drug and alcohol rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must deal with both disorders when it's in treatment in order to find resolution due to the fact one usually exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are lots of drug and alcohol rehab facilities who are able to specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders face to enable them to not merely become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not want to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Spanish

Not all drug rehab facilities possess the staff or wherewithal to cater to the demands of Spanish speaking clientele, but thankfully there are more and more facilities that are able to do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Counselling, study data and so on are now very often accessible in Spanish in both short and long terms centers which provide inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish treatment is available too nationwide.

Other Languages

In every city in the U.S. there's someone fighting substance abuse that isn't necessarily fluent in English, who may need rehabilitation in whichever language it is they are fluent in to ensure that their needs can be met properly whilst in treatment. Thankfully, there are lots of alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities that have counselors on staff who speak other languages to make alcohol and drug rehabilitation the most effective experience possible for any individual. Simply locate a quality drug and alcohol treatment program and inquire if it is feasible to receive treatment in other languages.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but people actually have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women encounter. In addition, rehab programs will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present any other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals might want to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation facility that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in setting up the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some sort of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals may have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center that is within their network of providers and there can be other limitations such as the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a quality facility they prefer and speak with a treatment counselor to determine if their insurance will handle it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option provided by a number of alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in order to help individuals afford rehabilitation where this might not have been doable originally. For example, one client's fee for rehab might be different and lower than another person whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to pay for the full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars take into consideration other factors in addition to income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many alcohol and drug treatment programs offer payment assistance to help individuals who might possibly not have enough funds to self pay for treatment or whose health insurance won't supply coverage or full coverage for his or her stay. For example, Occasionally insurance only pays for a short-term facility when in actuality a long-term program will be the more appropriate selection. To determine what payment assistance might be offered, say for example a sliding fee scale, seek advice from the program for details.
