Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of level of care, since the individual can preserve their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to be in a rehabilitation center while undergoing rehab services. Although this might seem ideal it will not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than a lot of people in recovery require to experience a productive rehab.

Adolescents

When adolescents become involved in any sort of drug use, it is vital that they receive high quality care to stop the problem in its tracks so that it doesn't get any worse and maybe put their future in jeopardy. Because adolescent drug use which persists often carries on into one's adult life, parents must continue to be vigilant and get their adolescent treatment as soon as a problem is observed in a program which addresses adolescent substance abuse. A lot of programs which treat adolescents provide both inpatient and residential rehabilitation, which has been proven to be the most effective environments for treatment clients of this age.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

While discovery of this problem can often be hard among the hearing impaired, there are ASL and also other assistance services available for them when drug abuse rehab is needed. Other than ASL, such services may include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired people are receiving the help they need in alcohol and drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can select whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women face. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

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 a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only within the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some form of alcohol and drug rehab service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab centers. Individuals might have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment facility which is within their network of providers and there can be other limitations including just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a good center they prefer and meet with a rehabilitation counselor to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility available from numerous drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in an effort to help clients pay for rehabilitation where this may not have been possible originally. For instance, one client's price for rehabilitation could possibly be different and lower than somebody else whose financial situation is better making them more prepared to pay for the full expense of rehab. Registrars consider other factors in addition to income including amount of dependents to determine the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
