Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions in terms of intensity of care, since the individual can keep their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to remain in a treatment program while receiving rehabilitation services. While this may seem perfect it will not provide the much needed change of environment than many people in rehabilitation need to have a productive rehabilitation.

So for seniors and older adults, it is advisable to pick a program which is used to helping seniors and older adults tackle the unique life and drug abuse problems that these clients face which can include a wider spectrum of services including medical treatment and so on.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but people actually have a great deal of leverage because they can choose whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehab programs will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present another kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals might want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation center which will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab center.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. When someone 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 figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only in the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment programs. Individuals could have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center that is inside their network of providers and there can be other restrictions for example the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select an excellent program they like and consult with a rehab counselor to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

Sliding Fee Scale

For instance, one client's price for rehabilitation could possibly be different and another person whose financial situation is better making them better able to pay for the full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars consider variables besides income including number of dependents to determine the final cost and using the sliding scale.
