Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a variety of settings with various rehab lengths and plans to suit the various needs of clients with any kind 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 postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services regarding intensity of care, for the reason that individual can maintain their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of needing to be in a treatment program while undergoing rehab services. Even if this might appear perfect it may not provide the required change of atmosphere than many people in treatment have to have to experience a productive rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse due to problems their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem can sometimes be hard among the hearing impaired, there are ASL and other assistance services available for them when substance abuse rehabilitation is required. Apart from ASL, such services may include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired people are getting the support they need in alcohol and drug treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but individuals actually have a much more leverage simply because they can select whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, rehabilitation programs will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab centers accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present any other form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehab program that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug and alcohol rehab programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in establishing the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to 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 may be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. If someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only in the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some form of drug rehab service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehab centers. Individuals may have to participate in a drug rehab facility that is within their network of providers and there could be other limitations such as the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a good program 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 including VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain drug abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities as well as partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some limitations concerning how long a stay in inpatient drug treatment is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before beginning rehab so that it's clear how much time and individual can stay in the rehab facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option provided by a number of alcohol and drug treatment programs to help help clients afford rehab where this may not have been doable originally. As an example, one client's fee for rehabilitation may be different and less than somebody else whose finances are better which makes them better able to pay the full expense of rehab. Registrars take into account variables in addition to income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
