Drug Treatment Help Request

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in many different settings with various treatment lengths and plans to suit the varying needs of clients with any sort of and degree of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential programs now being included in many insurance plans, there's no need to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anybody who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions in terms of intensity of care, as the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to remain in a rehab facility while receiving treatment services. Even if this may appear ideal it might not provide the required change of environment than many people in rehab have to have to have a successful rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all drug treatment centers have the staff or resources to focus on the requirements of Spanish speaking clientele, but fortunately there are more and more centers that are able to do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Counselling, study info and the like are now frequently available in Spanish in both short and long terms programs which deliver inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish treatment is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can decide on whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many men and women face. In addition, rehab programs will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some type of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment facilities. Individuals might have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab center which is inside their network of providers and there may be other limitations such as the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a good facility they like and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers and also partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some limitations as to the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before beginning rehabilitation so that it's clear the length of time and individual can remain in the rehabilitation program of choice.
