Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in several settings along with various rehab lengths and plans to suit the various demands of clients with any sort of and level of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential centers now being included in many insurance companies, there's no need to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab solutions regarding intensity of care, because the individual can keep their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehabilitation facility while receiving treatment services. Even though this may appear ideal it might not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many individuals in rehabilitation have to have to have a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but people really have a much more leverage because they can select whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many men and women face. Likewise, treatment facilities will often offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present any other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality treatment center which will get better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug rehabilitation facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in establishing the individual's treatment plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some form of alcohol and drug rehab service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab programs. Individuals may have to participate in a drug rehab center that is within their network of providers and there may be other restrictions such as just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent program they prefer and speak with a rehabilitation specialist to determine if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some limitations about how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered before beginning rehabilitation so that it is clear how long and individual can stay in the treatment facility of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option made available from a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in an effort to help clients pay for treatment where this may not have been doable originally. By way of example, one client's price for treatment may be different and lower than somebody else whose financial situation is better making them more prepared to spend the money for full price of rehabilitation. Registrars take into consideration additional factors in addition to income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
