Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a variety of settings along with different treatment lengths and plans to accommodate the varying needs of clients with any sort of and amount of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential centers now being included in many insurance companies, you don't have to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab solutions with regards to intensity of care, since the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehab center while receiving treatment services. While this may appear ideal it may not provide the much needed change of environment than a lot of people in rehabilitation have to have to experience a successful rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse because of the challenges their impairment impose on them. While detection of this problem can be hard among the hearing impaired, there are ASL and also other assistance services designed for them when substance abuse treatment is needed. Aside from ASL, such services may include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired people are getting the support they need in drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but people in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can decide on whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many men and women face. Likewise, treatment facilities will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present some other type of private health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation program that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug and alcohol treatment programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they can check with 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 generally only within the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some form of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals may have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab center that is within their network of providers and there can be other restrictions such as how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a good program they prefer and consult with a rehab counselor to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

Military Insurance (E.G., Va, Tricare)

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain drug abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some limitations as to how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehab is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it is clear how long and individual can remain in the rehab facility of preference.
