Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a number of settings and with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to accommodate the various demands of clients with any sort of and level of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being paid by many insurance plans, you shouldn't have to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anybody who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions in terms of intensity of care, because the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to remain in a treatment facility while undergoing rehab services. While this may appear perfect it will not provide the required change of surroundings than many individuals in rehabilitation require to experience a productive rehab.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders in many cases are given the possibility or ordered to rehab as part of sentencing. In many cases, the offender can decide which rehab facility they would like to attend. When successfully completed, DUI and DWI offenders can take advantage of reduced sentencing options in order to move forward in their lives without getting penalized any further.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals really have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation centers will often provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present another form of private medical insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals may want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehab center that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only inside the state which provides the insurance plan.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility made available from a number of drug treatment programs to help help individuals pay for rehabilitation where this might not have been doable originally. For example, one client's fee for rehab might be different and someone else whose finances are better making them more prepared to pay for the full price of treatment. Registrars take into consideration variables in addition to income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
