Other Forms of Payment
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Inpatient rehabs offer intensive clinical supervision and high-level care in alignment with the specialized needs of clients who are in early recovery, exiting detox, or experiencing crisis. Clients in inpatient care reside at the treatment facility with round-the-clock access to medical and mental health care. They engage in extensive addiction counseling, which may include family and group therapy sessions. Inpatient treatment also frequently involves recovery-focused life skills training. Many programs feature holistic therapies, such as meditation, as well.
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) provide high-level support for clients who do not need inpatient treatment or who prefer to live at home while in early recovery. Intensive outpatient rehabs also offer support for clients who are reintegrating into their community following inpatient care. Clients typically receive a minimum of nine hours of treatment per week, though many programs offer up to 20 therapeutic hours. Psychotherapy, recovery education, holistic therapies, and medication assisted treatment (MAT) are standard.
Medical detox is the process of weaning your body off addictive drugs like alcohol, benzodiazepines, or opioids, under the 24/7 care of medical professionals. Often the first step in the recovery process, medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient setting, where you will be closely monitored to ensure your maximum health and safety. Medications, like Suboxone or Vivitrol, may be administered if needed to alleviate any potential withdrawal symptoms.
Treatments
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.
Alcoholism is a condition that's characterized by physical dependence on alcohol and an inability to stop drinking. It can be extremely difficult to overcome an alcohol addiction without professional treatment. Alcohol rehab in Vermont offers the necessary tools and support to help you move forward in recovery. This process typically involves three phases of treatment: detox, rehab, and maintenance.

Opioid AddictionThere are a range of substance abuse treatment options in Vermont consisting of inpatient residential, outpatient, intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization drug and alcohol rehabs.

Programs
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.
For individuals who want to build skills related to emotional regulation and mindfulness, dialectical behavior therapy can be a good fit. This evidence based therapy helps you accept your emotions while also learning skills to manage them and create healthier patterns of behavior. Treatment occurs in group and individual formats.
Using a personalized approach for drug addiction treatment allows your therapist to tailor interventions in your individual therapy sessions to your unique circumstances. During your one on one sessions, you explore the underlying causes of addiction and develop effective strategies to manage cravings, improve mental health, and ultimately achieve long term recovery.
