Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions with regards to level of care, as the individual can keep their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to remain in a treatment program while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even if this may appear perfect it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many individuals in rehab require to experience a productive rehab.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse as a result of challenges that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem can sometimes be difficult among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL as well as other assistance services available for them when substance abuse treatment is necessary. Aside from ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are getting the help they require in alcohol and drug treatment.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers have the staff or wherewithal to cater to the needs of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately there are more and more centers that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Therapy, study information and the like are now frequently accessible in Spanish in both short and long terms facilities which deliver inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish treatment is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage because they can choose whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many men and women face. Likewise, rehab centers will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation programs accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present some other form of private health care insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehab facility that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the individual's rehab 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 rehab 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 costs of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only inside the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some type of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment programs. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab facility which is inside their network of providers and there can be other restrictions such as just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a good center they prefer and meet with a treatment specialist to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain substance abuse rehab solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some limitations about how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before you begin treatment so that it is clear just how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation program of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option available from a number of alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities to help help individuals afford rehabilitation where this might not have been possible initially. For example, one client's price for treatment could be different and somebody else whose financial situation is better making them better able to spend the money for full price of rehab. Registrars take into account variables apart from income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost and using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities provide payment assistance to help individuals who may not have enough money to self pay for treatment or whose medical insurance won't provide coverage or full coverage for his or her stay. By way of example, Sometimes insurance only covers a short-term facility when in actuality a long-term facility is going to be the more appropriate choice. To determine what payment assistance could be available, say for example a sliding fee scale, talk with the center for particulars.
