Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment services with regards to intensity of care, as the individual can preserve their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehab center while receiving treatment services. Although this may appear ideal it will not provide the required change of surroundings than lots of people in rehab have to have to have a productive rehab.

Seniors/Older Adults

Seniors and older adults who battle with substance abuse might have unique challenges they have to overcome during treatment, which rehab specialists in the program they elect to take part in have to be keen of in order that a full recovery is possible. So for seniors and older adults, it is prudent to pick a center that is used to helping seniors and older adults address the unique life and drug use problems that these clients face which may include a wider spectrum of solutions including health care and the like.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but people actually have a great deal of leverage because they can select whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehab programs will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehab facilities accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present any other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehabilitation center that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab program.
