Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in several settings and with various rehab lengths and plans to suit the varying demands of clients with any type of and degree of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being included in many insurance companies, there's no need to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab solutions regarding level of care, because the individual can keep their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehabilitation center while undergoing treatment services. While this may seem ideal it may not provide the much needed change of environment than many individuals in rehabilitation require to experience a productive rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and drug abuse due to the challenges their impairment impose on them. While detection of this problem is often hard among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL as well as other assistance services available for them when drug abuse rehab is needed. Besides ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are receiving the support they need in drug and alcohol treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but individuals in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many individuals encounter. In addition, rehab facilities will often provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present another kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehab facility that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug rehab programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in establishing the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some type of drug treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals might have to take part in a drug rehab center that's within their network of providers and there may be other restrictions like the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a quality center they like and meet with a rehabilitation counselor to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain substance abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities along with 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 representative. There can be some restrictions about the length of time a stay in inpatient drug rehab is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered prior to starting treatment so that it's clear how long and individual can stay in the treatment center of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option available from a variety of drug and alcohol treatment facilities in order to help individuals pay for rehabilitation where this may not have been possible initially. As an example, one client's fee for treatment might be different and lower than another individual whose finances are better making them better able to spend the money for full expense of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account additional circumstances aside from income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.
