Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions with regards to intensity of care, as the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a rehab center while receiving treatment services. Even if this might seem perfect it might not provide the required change of atmosphere than many individuals in rehabilitation require to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues are what are known in the field of drug and alcohol treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must tackle both disorders whilst in treatment to find resolution simply because one usually exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are several drug rehabilitation programs who can specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders face so that they can not merely become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not wish to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but people actually have a great deal of leverage because they can select whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, rehab programs will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present another kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehab program which will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at alcohol and drug rehab facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in establishing the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify 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 in the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some sort of alcohol and drug treatment service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab centers. Individuals could have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment center which is in their network of providers and there can be other limitations for example the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a good center they prefer and consult with a rehab counselor to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular substance abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities along with partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some limitations concerning the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehab so that it's clear the length of time and individual can stay in the rehabilitation center of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option offered by many different drug and alcohol treatment centers in an effort to help individuals afford rehab where this may not have been doable initially. For example, one client's fee for treatment could be different and somebody else whose finances are better making them better able to spend the money for full expense of rehab. Registrars take into account additional factors aside from income including amount of dependents to determine the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
