Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions with regards to intensity of care, because the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to remain in a treatment center while receiving rehab services. Even though this might appear perfect it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than a lot of people in rehab need to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all drug rehab programs have the staff or resources to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clients, but luckily there are more and more programs that are able to do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Therapy, study data and the like are actually very often available in Spanish in both short and long terms centers which provide inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage because they can choose whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people face. Likewise, rehab programs will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehab facilities will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present any other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehab program which will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the facility is included 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 treatment strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other type 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 may be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only within the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug treatment service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab programs. Individuals could have to take part in a drug rehabilitation program which is in their network of providers and there could be other limitations including the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a quality program they prefer and speak with a rehab specialist to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular substance abuse treatment solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs and also partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some limitations as to the length of time a stay in inpatient drug rehab is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before you start rehab so that it is clear the length of time and individual can stay in the rehabilitation facility of choice.
