Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab solutions with regards to intensity of care, since the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to remain in a rehab program while undergoing treatment services. Even if this may appear perfect it may not provide the required change of surroundings than a lot of people in rehabilitation have to have to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders are what are identified in the field of drug and alcohol rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must deal with both disorders whilst in treatment to find resolution simply because one typically exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are lots of drug and alcohol treatment facilities who can specifically hone in on the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues face to be able to not simply become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never want to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Gays and Lesbians

It is vital that gays and lesbians acquire excellent rehab services within a rehab environment that's discreet and has treatment professionals at their disposal who comprehend the unique problems that they experience in life. Because drug abuse for gays and lesbians is sometimes triggered because of the problems they face due to their sexual preference, a rehab which will help them handle these issues and give them the confidence they may have lacked prior to arriving in treatment could be a crucial aspect of recovery for gay and lesbian clients.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse due to challenges that their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem can be hard among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL along with other assistance services intended for them when substance abuse rehabilitation is necessary. Aside from ASL, such services may include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are getting the help they require in drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs possess the staff or resources to focus on the demands of Spanish speaking clients, but luckily there are more and more centers that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than previously. Counselling, study information and the like are now very often available in Spanish in both short and long terms facilities which deliver inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage because they can choose whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain treatment centers accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present some other form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehab facility which will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at alcohol and drug treatment facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with setting up the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only inside the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some type of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab facilities. Individuals could possibly have to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment program that's within their network of providers and there could be other limitations like the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a good center they prefer and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance covers it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility made available from a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs to help help individuals pay for rehabilitation where this might not have been possible initially. As an example, one client's fee for rehabilitation could be different and lower than somebody else whose financial situation is better making them better able to pay for the full price of rehabilitation. Registrars take into consideration additional circumstances besides income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.
