With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential programs now being included in many insurance companies, you shouldn't have to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anybody who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions regarding level of care, as the individual can maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to be in a rehab center while undergoing treatment services.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse problems are what are known in the field of drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients.

Luckily, there are many alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs who can specifically address the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues face in order to not merely become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not consider it wise to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Women

Women require quality treatment in rehab but can also need particular focus on the unique challenges they face due to their gender. Men and women not just face different and distinctive problems in daily life due to gender, but also may abuse drugs and alcohol for completely different reasons. drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which focus on women and the distinctive and unique needs that women face can help enormously on a women's path to long term sobriety and a higher standard of living.

Men

Just as men and women encounter varying and different challenges in daily life which can be specific to their gender, women and men might also face unique challenges in treatment that are gender specific, which is the reason a rehab designed specifically with these special needs and challenges at heart can be quite ideal for someone searching for an effective treatment option.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol treatment facilities possess the staff or wherewithal to focus on the needs of Spanish speaking clientele, but fortunately there are more and more facilities that will do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Therapy, study information and stuff like that are now frequently accessible in Spanish in both long and short terms centers which provide inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish treatment is available too around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but individuals actually have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present some other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehab center that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug rehab centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in establishing the individual's rehab strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for 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 drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only within the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some type of drug rehab service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals could have to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment program which is inside their network of providers and there can be other restrictions such as how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a quality facility they like and consult with a treatment specialist to find out if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs in addition to partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative.
