Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in several settings with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to accommodate the various demands of clients with any sort of and degree of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being included in many insurance companies, there is no need to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions regarding level of care, because the individual can maintain their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehabilitation center while receiving rehab services. Although this may seem perfect it may not provide the much needed change of environment than many people in recovery have to have to have a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but people in fact have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women face. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will often offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present another form of private health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehab center that will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug rehabilitation facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with setting up the person's rehab plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some form of alcohol and drug rehab service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug treatment facilities. Individuals could have to participate in a drug treatment facility that's inside their network of providers and there can be other restrictions including how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent program they like and meet with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular drug abuse rehab services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with 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 could be some limitations about how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before you begin rehab so that it's clear just how long and individual can stay in the rehab facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option available from a variety of alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in order to help clients afford treatment where this may not have been doable initially. For example, one client's price for treatment might be different and lower than somebody else whose financial situation is better making them more prepared to spend the money for full expense of rehabilitation. Registrars consider other factors aside from income including number of dependents to determine the final cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities offer payment assistance to help individuals who might possibly not have sufficient money to self pay for rehab or whose medical insurance won't provide coverage or full coverage for his or her stay. For example, Occasionally insurance only covers a short-term center when in reality a long-term facility will be the more ideal selection. To find out what payment assistance can be offered, such as a sliding fee scale, consult the center for details.
