Self Payment

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present some other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality treatment program which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment center.

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some type of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities. Individuals may have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center that's within their network of providers and there might be other limitations including the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent center they prefer and consult with a rehab specialist to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some limitations concerning just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered before you begin treatment so that it is clear just how long and individual can remain in the rehab center of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

As an example, one client's fee for treatment might be different and less than another person whose finances are better making them better able to pay for the full price of rehab. Registrars consider variables besides income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)
