Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services regarding intensity of care, because the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of needing to remain in a treatment facility while undergoing treatment services. Although this may seem perfect it might not provide the required change of atmosphere than many individuals in rehab need to experience a productive rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues are what are identified in the field of alcohol and drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must tackle both disorders when it's in rehab in order to find resolution because one often exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are several alcohol and drug treatment facilities who can specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face in order 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.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehab programs possess the staff or resources to cater to the demands of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately there are more and more programs that can do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than any other time. Therapy, study data and stuff like that are actually very often accessible in Spanish in both short and long terms centers which provide inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is available too around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of treatment or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but individuals actually have a much more leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many people face. In addition, rehabilitation centers will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehab centers will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present any other kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals might want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality treatment center which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug and alcohol treatment facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in setting up the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only in the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals could have to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment program that's within their network of providers and there may be other restrictions for example just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a good program they prefer and meet with a treatment specialist to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.

Military Insurance (E.G., Va, Tricare)

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers and also partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There could be some limitations as to how much time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered before beginning rehabilitation so that it's clear the length of time and individual can remain in the rehabilitation facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility offered by numerous drug treatment programs in order to help individuals pay for rehabilitation where this may not have been possible initially. By way of example, one client's price for rehabilitation may be different and less than somebody else whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to pay the full cost of rehab. Registrars take into account variables in addition to income including amount of dependents to determine the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs offer payment assistance to help clients who may not have sufficient money to self pay for treatment or whose health insurance won't supply coverage or total coverage for their stay. For instance, Sometimes insurance only pays for a short-term program when in fact a long-term facility will probably be the more appropriate choice. To see what payment assistance may be offered, for instance a sliding fee scale, talk with the center for particulars.
