Drug Treatment Help Request

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present any other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals may choose to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality treatment facility that will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.

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 a choice. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only in the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some form of drug and alcohol rehab service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab centers. Individuals might have to participate in a drug treatment facility that is in their network of providers and there can be other restrictions for example just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a good center they like and consult with a rehabilitation specialist to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.
