Drug Treatment Help Request

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but people really have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many people face. Likewise, treatment programs will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present some other form of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality treatment facility which will get better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab program.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment centers. Individuals may have to participate in a drug rehab program which is in their network of providers and there can be other restrictions including just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select an excellent facility they prefer and speak with a treatment counselor to find out if their insurance will cover it.
