Drug Treatment Help Request

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug use issues are what are known in the field of alcohol and drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must address both disorders while in rehab in order to find resolution due to the fact one typically triggers the other. Luckily, there are many alcohol and drug treatment programs that can specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders face to enable them to not merely become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug treatment centers have the staff or wherewithal to focus on the requirements of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately there are more and more centers that will do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than previously. Therapy, study information and so on are actually frequently obtainable in Spanish in both short and long terms facilities which provide inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is also available nationwide.

Medicaid

Some treatment programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present some other form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may want to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehabilitation center that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in establishing the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only within the state which offers the insurance.
