Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a variety of settings and with different treatment lengths and plans to accommodate the various needs of clients with any sort of and degree of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential programs now being covered by many insurance plans, there's no need to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anybody who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions regarding level of care, as the individual can maintain their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to be in a rehab program while undergoing rehab services. Even if this might seem ideal it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than lots of people in rehabilitation require to have a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage simply because they can select whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present another type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehab facility which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug rehab centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in setting up the person's rehab strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some sort of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug treatment programs. Individuals could possibly have to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment program that's within their network of providers and there could be other limitations for example the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a quality facility they like and consult with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular substance abuse rehab services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities as well as partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There could be some limitations regarding the length of time a stay in inpatient drug rehabilitation is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered before you begin rehab so that it is clear how much time and individual can stay in the treatment program of preference.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many alcohol and drug treatment programs provide payment assistance to help clients who might possibly not have enough funds to self pay for rehab or whose health insurance won't supply coverage or total coverage for their stay. For instance, Sometimes insurance only covers a short-term facility when in fact a long-term facility will be the more ideal choice. To see what payment assistance may be offered, like a sliding fee scale, seek advice from the center for details.
