Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders are what are identified in the field of drug and alcohol treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must deal with both disorders whilst in rehab in order to find resolution simply because one typically triggers the other. Luckily, there are numerous drug treatment programs that can specifically address the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders face so that they can not simply become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never want to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients get into rehabilitation due to a court order to satisfy part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol treatment often receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when being cooperative with drug rehab specifications enforced with them in sentencing especially of course when successfully completing a drug and alcohol treatment program.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse as a result of problems their impairment impose on them. While detection of this problem can sometimes be difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and other assistance services intended for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is needed. Other than ASL, such services can include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are receiving the help they require in drug treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but people actually have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can select whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many men and women face. In addition, rehabilitation facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug and alcohol treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab programs. Individuals could have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab program that's inside their network of providers and there could be other limitations like the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a good facility they prefer and speak with a rehab specialist to find out if their insurance will cover it.
