Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services in terms of intensity of care, since the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to remain in a treatment center while receiving treatment services. While this may appear ideal it might not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many individuals in rehab need to have a successful rehabilitation.

Other Languages

In every single city in the U.S. there is someone experiencing substance abuse that isn't necessarily fluent in English, who might need treatment in whichever language it is they are fluent in so that their needs may be catered to properly while in treatment. Fortunately, there are lots of drug and alcohol rehab centers who have counselors within their facility who speak other languages to make drug and alcohol rehabilitation the most effective experience possible for any individual. Simply find a top quality alcohol and drug rehabilitation center and find out if it is possible to receive rehabilitation in other languages.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but people actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehab facilities will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present another form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals might want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehabilitation program which will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug and alcohol rehab programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in setting up the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug treatment centers provide payment assistance to help individuals who might not have adequate funds to self pay for rehabilitation or whose medical insurance won't provide coverage or full coverage for their stay. By way of example, Sometimes insurance only pays for a short-term program when in fact a long-term program will be the more ideal choice. To determine what payment assistance might be available, such as a sliding fee scale, check with the program for particulars.
