Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of level of care, since the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to remain in a treatment program while undergoing rehab services. While this might appear ideal it may not provide the much needed change of environment than many people in treatment have to have to experience a successful rehabilitation.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might be eligible for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only in the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some sort of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals may have to take part in a drug treatment center which is within their network of providers and there can be other limitations like just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a good facility they like and speak with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance covers it.
