Drug Treatment Help Request

Medicaid

Some treatment centers accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present another type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals might want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality treatment center that will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug and alcohol treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in establishing the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many alcohol and drug rehab programs provide payment assistance to help individuals who might not have adequate funds to self pay for treatment or whose health insurance won't provide coverage or total coverage for their stay. As an example, Sometimes insurance only covers a short-term center when in reality a long-term program will be the more appropriate choice. To see what payment assistance can be available, such as a sliding fee scale, check with the center for details.
