Substance Abuse Treatment Services

With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential centers now being included in many insurance companies, there is no need to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab solutions with regards to intensity of care, for the reason that individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to stay in a treatment center while receiving treatment services. Even if this may appear perfect it may not provide the required change of environment than many individuals in rehabilitation require to experience a successful rehab.

Adolescents

When adolescents get involved in any kind of drug abuse, it is important that they acquire quality care to halt the situation in its tracks so that it doesn't worsen and perhaps jeopardize their future.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

These individuals must address both disorders while in rehab to find resolution because one typically exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are several drug rehabilitation programs who are able to specifically address the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face to enable them to not merely become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never feel the need to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Men

Similar to how men and women face varying and unique challenges in everyday life that are specific to their gender, men and women may also encounter unique challenges in rehab that are gender-specific, which is why a rehab designed specifically with these special needs and obstacles in mind can be be extremely ideal for someone seeking a powerful rehab option.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders are often given the option or ordered to treatment as a term of their sentencing. Sometimes, the offender can select which rehab facility they wish to go to. When successfully completed, DUI and DWI offenders can take advantage of reduced sentencing options in order to move ahead in their lives without having to be penalized any further.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehab centers possess the staff or resources to cater to the needs of Spanish speaking clientele, but luckily there are more and more facilities that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than any other time. Therapy, study data and the like are now frequently available in Spanish in both long and short terms centers which deliver inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but people actually have a much more leverage simply because they can select whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people face. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will often offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation facilities accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present any other type of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation facility which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment 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 rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only inside the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some type of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities. Individuals could have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab facility that's in their network of providers and there may be other restrictions for example how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select a quality center they like and consult with a treatment counselor to find out if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain drug abuse rehab services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some restrictions concerning just how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it is clear how much time and individual can remain in the rehab facility of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option offered by numerous drug rehab centers to help help individuals pay for rehabilitation where this might not have been doable initially. By way of example, one client's fee for treatment could be different and somebody else whose financial situation is better which makes them more prepared to pay for the full price of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account additional circumstances apart from income including amount of dependents to determine the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug and alcohol treatment facilities offer payment assistance to help clients who might not have enough resources to self pay for rehabilitation or whose health insurance won't supply coverage or full coverage for their stay. For instance, Occasionally insurance only covers a short-term center when in actuality a long-term facility will probably be the more suitable selection. To see what payment assistance could be available, such as a sliding fee scale, check with the center for details.
