Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in many different settings with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to suit the various needs of clients with any sort of and amount of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being included in many insurance companies, you don't have to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anybody who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of intensity of care, since the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to be in a rehab program while receiving treatment services. Although this may seem ideal it might not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many people in recovery have to have to have a productive rehab.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders in many cases are given the option or ordered to rehabilitation as part of sentencing. Quite often, the offender can choose which rehabilitation program they would like to go to. Upon successful completion, DUI and DWI offenders can take advantage of decreased sentencing options to enable them to move forward in their lives without getting penalized further.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but people in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people face. In addition, rehab programs will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some treatment programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present some other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehabilitation facility which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug rehab programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with setting up the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might be eligible for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only in the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehab programs. Individuals could have to participate in a drug rehabilitation program which is within their network of providers and there might be other restrictions such as how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a quality facility they like and meet with a rehabilitation specialist to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs in addition to partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some limitations as to how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered before you start rehabilitation so that it is clear how long and individual can stay in the rehab center of preference.
