Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in many different settings and with different treatment lengths and plans to accommodate the varying demands of clients with any kind of and degree of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being paid by many insurance companies, there is no need to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services regarding level of care, since the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to remain in a rehab program while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even though this might appear ideal it will not provide the much needed change of environment than lots of people in rehabilitation need to have a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals really have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, rehabilitation centers will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present any other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehabilitation facility which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug and alcohol treatment service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab centers. Individuals might have to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment facility which is inside their network of providers and there can be other limitations including the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a quality center they prefer and speak with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility provided by a variety of alcohol and drug treatment facilities in an effort to help clients pay for rehab where this may not have been possible initially. For example, one client's price for treatment could possibly be different and someone else whose finances are better making them more prepared to pay for the full expense of rehabilitation. Registrars take into consideration additional circumstances aside from income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.
