Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services with regards to level of care, because the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to remain in a rehabilitation center while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even though this may appear ideal it will not provide the required change of environment than a lot of people in treatment need to have a productive rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but individuals really have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. Likewise, treatment programs will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers accept Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present some other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation center which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment program.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might qualify for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance coverage.
