Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a number of settings along with different treatment lengths and plans to suit the various demands of clients with any type of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being included in many insurance companies, you shouldn't have to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anybody who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services with regards to intensity of care, as the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to remain in a treatment program while undergoing rehab services. While this might appear ideal it might not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many individuals in treatment need to have a productive rehab.

Other Languages

In each and every city in the U.S. there's someone being affected by substance abuse that isn't necessarily fluent in English, who may need treatment in whatever language it is they are fluent in so that their needs can be met properly while in treatment. Luckily, there are numerous drug and alcohol rehab facilities that have counselors on staff who speak other languages to make drug and alcohol rehabilitation the best experience possible for anyone. Simply look for a top quality alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility and inquire if it is feasible to receive treatment in other languages.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but individuals in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can decide on whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many people encounter. Likewise, treatment centers will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may 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. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only in the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some type of drug rehab service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals could possibly have to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment facility which is in their network of providers and there might be other limitations for example just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a good facility they prefer and consult with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers and also partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some restrictions about how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehab so that it's clear how much time and individual can stay in the rehabilitation center of preference.
