Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment services regarding level of care, because the individual can keep their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation center while receiving rehabilitation services. While this may seem perfect it may not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than a lot of people in treatment have to have to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse problems are what are recognized in the field of drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must handle both disorders whilst in treatment to find resolution because one usually exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are many alcohol and drug treatment centers that can specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face to be able to not only become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not feel the need to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into rehabilitation due to a court order in order to meet part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug treatment often receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when being cooperative with drug and alcohol rehabilitation specifications enforced on them as part of sentencing and also naturally when successfully graduating a drug and alcohol treatment center.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse as a result of problems that their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem can often be hard among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL as well as other assistance services readily available for them when drug abuse treatment is required. Apart from ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are receiving the support they need in alcohol and drug rehab.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs have the staff or wherewithal to cater to the needs of Spanish speaking clients, but thankfully there are more and more facilities that are able to do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Therapy, study info and the like are now frequently available in Spanish in both long and short terms facilities which provide inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish rehab is available too around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but individuals in fact have a much more leverage because they can select whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many men and women face. Likewise, rehab facilities will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present any other type of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of programs, 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 that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab center.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option available from numerous drug and alcohol rehab centers in order to help individuals afford rehabilitation where this might not have been possible initially. For example, one client's fee for rehab might be different and less than another individual whose financial situation is better which makes them more prepared to pay the full cost of treatment. Registrars take into consideration additional circumstances aside from income including amount of dependents to determine the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
