Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions in terms of level of care, since the individual can preserve their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of needing to be in a rehabilitation program while receiving treatment services. Although this may seem perfect it might not provide the much needed change of environment than many people in recovery have to have to experience a productive rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and drug abuse due to the problems that their impairment impose on them. While detection of the issue can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, there are ASL as well as other assistance services readily available for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is needed. Aside from ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired people are receiving the support they require in drug treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but people actually have a much more leverage simply because they can select whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women face. In addition, rehab centers will often provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab facilities will take Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present another kind of private health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehab facility which will produce better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in establishing the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only within the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some sort of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug treatment centers. Individuals could possibly have to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment facility which is in their network of providers and there might be other limitations for example the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a good center they like and speak 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 price of certain drug abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers as well as partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some limitations regarding just how long a stay in inpatient drug rehabilitation is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered before beginning rehab so that it's clear how long and individual can stay in the rehab center of preference.
