Alcohol & Drug Rehabs in Albany, Oregon

Detox

This is often the initial step of treatment, which is completed before you move forward with recovery services. It is the process of safely clearing your system of all drugs and alcohol. Detox occurs in a supervised setting such as a hospital or inpatient facility, where withdrawal symptoms can be managed.

Residential or Inpatient

Residential or inpatient treatment involves living at a facility and receiving 24/7 care and supervision. This is the most intensive treatment setting. Methods of treatment usually include group, family, and individual therapy. You may also receive medication and participate in recreational therapy.

Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHPs)

PHPs often involve many of the same treatment methods used for inpatient care. The difference is, you only stay at the facility during treatment times, then return home.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs)

This type of program is a step down from partial hospitalization. IOPs provide several hours of treatment over several days per week, allowing you to live at home and fulfill other obligations such as work or school.

Standard Outpatient

Standard outpatient programs are the least restrictive treatment option. They involve one or two hours of care per week. Oregon residents who have mild addictions and strong support systems are good candidates for this type of treatment.

Aftercare

Also called relapse prevention, aftercare starts once you have completed a formal inpatient or outpatient program. It provides ongoing support, such as 12-step meetings, transitional housing, or therapy.

Private Insurance

By law, all insurance companies are required to cover substance abuse treatment to at least some extent. However, plans differ in their coverage, so Oregon residents should contact their provider to learn more about specific coverage under their plan.

Oregon Medicare

Medicare is a health insurance program funded by the government that provides coverage for Oregon residents aged 65 and older, as well as individuals with certain disabilities. Certain Medicare plans provide coverage for various types of addiction treatment. Not all rehab facilities accept Medicare, so it’s important to confirm accepted methods of payment before starting a program. The Oregon Senior Health Insurance Benefits Assistance (SHIBA) provides free Medicare information to seniors and their family members in Oregon.

TRICARE in Oregon

TRICARE in Oregon (West region) provides health insurance for veterans, U.S. military personnel, and their families. Coverage includes addiction treatment services; however, this coverage varies by plan.
