Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions with regards to intensity of care, for the reason that individual can preserve their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to remain in a rehab program while receiving treatment services. Even if this might seem perfect it may not provide the required change of atmosphere than many individuals in rehabilitation have to have to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders are what are known in the field of alcohol and drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must tackle both disorders whilst in rehab in order to find resolution because one often triggers the other. Luckily, there are lots of drug rehab centers who can specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face so that they can not just become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but individuals really have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many men and women face. In addition, rehab facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present some other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehab facility which will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in establishing the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare 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 forms of insurance or self payment aren't an option. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might be eligible for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only within the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment facilities. Individuals could have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment facility which is within their network of providers and there may be other limitations like how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a quality program they prefer and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain substance abuse rehab services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some restrictions regarding how much time a stay in inpatient drug rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it is clear just how long and individual can remain in the rehab facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility made available from a number of alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in an effort to help individuals afford treatment where this might not have been doable initially. For instance, one client's fee for rehab could be different and lower than another person whose financial situation is better making them more prepared to pay for the full price of rehab. Registrars consider other factors apart from income including number of dependents to determine the final cost and using the sliding scale.
