Apart from ASL, such services can include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are obtaining the help they require in drug treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but people actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

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

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at alcohol and drug treatment programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the individual's treatment plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some type of drug and alcohol treatment service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab facilities. Individuals may have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab center that's within their network of providers and there can be other limitations including the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a good program they prefer and speak with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance covers it.

As an example, one client's price for rehabilitation may be different and another individual whose finances are better making them better able to pay for the full price of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account variables in addition to income including number of dependents to ascertain the final cost and using the sliding scale.
