Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a number of settings with various rehab lengths and plans to suit the various demands of clients with any type of and level of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being covered by many insurance companies, you shouldn't have to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment solutions with regards to level of care, for the reason that individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehab facility while receiving treatment services. Although this might seem ideal it might not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than a lot of people in rehab have to have to experience a productive rehab.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders are often given the choice or ordered to rehabilitation as part of sentencing. In many cases, the offender can choose which rehabilitation facility they would like to attend. Upon successful completion, DUI and DWI offenders benefit from decreased sentencing options to enable them to move forward in their lives without having to be penalized any more.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women face. In addition, rehab centers will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug treatment programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in establishing the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other type 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 expense of alcohol and drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If a person 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 apply. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only in 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 sort of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehab programs. Individuals could have to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment facility that is inside their network of providers and there might be other restrictions including the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a quality facility they like and consult with a rehabilitation specialist to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detox 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 could be some limitations concerning the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehab is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before you start treatment so that it is clear the length of time and individual can stay in the rehabilitation program of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility provided by a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers to help help clients pay for rehab where this may not have been possible originally. As an example, one client's price for rehabilitation may be different and somebody else whose finances are better which makes them better able to pay for the full cost of treatment. Registrars take into account additional factors aside from income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
