  • Some inpatient rehab centers have their own in-house detox programs, but more centers today are requiring patients to complete detoxification prior to entering their facilities.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse problems are what are identified in the field of drug and alcohol rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must deal with both disorders while in rehabilitation to find resolution due to the fact one typically triggers the other. Luckily, there are several drug and alcohol rehab facilities that can specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues face so that they can not simply become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not wish to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs have the staff or wherewithal to focus on the demands of Spanish speaking clients, but thankfully there are more and more centers that are able to do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Counselling, study information and stuff like that are now very often accessible in Spanish in both long and short terms facilities which provide inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is available too nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't cover the total cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but people in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation programs accept Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present any other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may choose to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality treatment facility which will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at alcohol and drug treatment centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in establishing the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.
