Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to intensity of care, as the individual can preserve their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to remain in a treatment center while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even if this may seem ideal it might not provide the much needed change of environment than many people in rehab need to have a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug use problems are what are known in the field of drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must deal with both disorders when it's in rehab in order to find resolution because one usually exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are lots of alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities that can specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face so that they can not just become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never wish to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage because they can select whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women face. In addition, treatment facilities will often offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain treatment centers accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present any other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehab program that will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug treatment centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some type of drug rehab service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment facility that is inside their network of providers and there can be other restrictions such as the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a quality program they prefer and meet with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance will take care of it.
