Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of level of care, since the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to be in a rehab facility while undergoing rehabilitation services. While this might seem ideal it might not provide the much needed change of environment than lots of people in treatment require to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all drug rehab facilities possess the staff or resources to focus on the needs of Spanish speaking clients, but thankfully there are more and more centers that can do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Counselling, study info and the like are now frequently accessible in Spanish in both short and long terms facilities which provide inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish treatment is available too around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many individuals encounter. In addition, treatment centers will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present some other kind of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehabilitation center which will get better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation program.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only within the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some sort of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab facilities. Individuals could have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center which is inside their network of providers and there could be other limitations for example the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a quality program they prefer and meet with a rehab counselor to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.
