Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab solutions in terms of intensity of care, for the reason that individual can keep their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to remain in a rehabilitation center while receiving rehabilitation services. Although this may seem ideal it will not provide the required change of environment than a lot of people in rehab have to have to experience a productive rehab.

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 some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but individuals really have a great deal of leverage because they can choose whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will often provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation programs accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present some other form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals may want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehabilitation program that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in establishing the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for 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 alcohol and drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they should seek advice from 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 usually only inside the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some kind of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals could have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center which is within their network of providers and there may be other limitations including the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent facility they like and meet with a treatment specialist to find out if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain substance abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers and also partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some limitations regarding just how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before you begin treatment so that it is clear how much time and individual can remain in the rehab facility of preference.
