Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions regarding level of care, because the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to be in a treatment facility while undergoing treatment services. Although this may seem perfect it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many individuals in rehab have to have to have a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse problems are what are recognized in the field of drug and alcohol treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must deal with both disorders while in treatment to find resolution due to the fact one typically triggers the other. Luckily, there are lots of alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs that can specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues face in order to not simply become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients get into treatment as part of a court order to satisfy part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation often receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when cooperating with drug and alcohol rehabilitation requirements enforced with them in sentencing specifically naturally when successfully graduating an alcohol and drug rehab program.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers possess the staff or wherewithal to cater to the needs of Spanish speaking clients, but thankfully there are more and more centers that can do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Counselling, study information and stuff like that are actually very often accessible in Spanish in both short and long terms facilities which deliver inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish treatment is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but individuals in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. Likewise, treatment centers will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation centers will take Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present any other kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehab center which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug rehab facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with establishing the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some type of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab facilities. Individuals could have to participate in a drug rehab program which is inside their network of providers and there could be other limitations such as how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a quality facility they prefer and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance covers it.

Military Insurance (E.G., Va, Tricare)

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular drug abuse treatment solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities along with partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some limitations about how much time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehab is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered before beginning rehabilitation so that it is clear just how long and individual can remain in the treatment program of preference.
