Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a variety of settings and with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to accommodate the various needs of clients with any kind of and level of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being covered by many insurance companies, you shouldn't have to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anybody who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services in terms of intensity of care, because the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to be in a rehab program while undergoing rehab services. While this might seem ideal it might not provide the required change of surroundings than a lot of people in rehab require to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into rehabilitation due to a court order in order to meet a part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug treatment frequently receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when cooperating with drug and alcohol rehabilitation requirements enforced on them as part of sentencing and particularly of course when successfully completing a drug rehab facility.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse because of the challenges their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this problem can be hard among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL along with other assistance services readily available for them when drug abuse treatment is required. Besides ASL, such services can include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired folks are obtaining the support they need in alcohol and drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but people in fact have a much more leverage due to the fact they can select whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many people face. Likewise, rehab facilities will often offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present some other kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation program which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in setting up the individual's treatment plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only within the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug treatment service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs. Individuals could have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab center that's in their network of providers and there could be other restrictions for example just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a good center they like and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers in addition to partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some limitations regarding how long a stay in inpatient drug rehab is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered before beginning rehab so that it's clear how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option offered by numerous drug treatment centers in an effort to help individuals afford rehab where this may not have been possible initially. For example, one client's fee for treatment may be different and less than someone else whose financial situation is better which makes them more prepared to pay for the full cost of treatment. Registrars take into account additional factors in addition to income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
