Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a number of settings with various rehab lengths and plans to accommodate the varying demands of clients with any type of and level of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential centers now being included in many insurance plans, there's no need to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services in terms of level of care, since the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to remain in a treatment program while receiving treatment services. While this may seem perfect it might not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many people in rehabilitation need to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Adolescents

When adolescents become involved in any type of drug abuse, it is important that they acquire top quality care to stop the problem in its tracks so that it doesn't worsen and maybe put their future in jeopardy. Because adolescent drug abuse which persists often continues into one's adult life, parents must remain astute and get their adolescent rehabilitation the moment an issue is noticed in a facility which handles adolescent drug use. Several facilities which deal with adolescents supply both inpatient and residential rehab, which has been proven to be the perfect settings for rehab clients of this age.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can select whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women face. In addition, treatment facilities will often provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some treatment programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present some other form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may want to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality treatment center which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

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

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only within the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some kind of alcohol and drug rehab service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehab programs. Individuals could possibly have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab program that is within their network of providers and there could be other restrictions like the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a quality program they prefer and consult with a rehab specialist to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

Military Insurance (E.G., Va, Tricare)

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular substance abuse rehab services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers in addition to partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some restrictions regarding how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before you begin rehab so that it is clear how long and individual can stay in the rehab program of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option provided by numerous drug treatment programs in order to help individuals afford rehab where this might not have been doable initially. For example, one client's price for treatment might be different and less than another individual whose finances are better making them better able to spend the money for full expense of treatment. Registrars take into consideration other factors in addition to income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.
