Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services in terms of level of care, as the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehab center while undergoing rehabilitation services. Although this may seem ideal it may not provide the required change of atmosphere than a lot of people in treatment require to have a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues are what are known in the field of alcohol and drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must deal with both disorders whilst in rehabilitation to find resolution because one typically triggers the other. Fortunately, there are numerous alcohol and drug rehab facilities that can specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face so that they can not simply become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into treatment due to a court order in order to meet a part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehabilitation frequently receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when cooperating with drug rehabilitation specifications enforced with them in sentencing and particularly naturally when successfully completing an alcohol and drug treatment facility.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but individuals really have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter. In addition, treatment programs will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some treatment programs will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present any other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation center that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation program.
