Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions with regards to intensity of care, because the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to stay in a treatment center while undergoing rehab services. Although this may appear perfect it might not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many individuals in rehab have to have to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug treatment facilities possess the staff or wherewithal to cater to the demands of Spanish speaking clients, but luckily there are more and more centers that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than previously. Counselling, study info and so on are now very often available in Spanish in both short and long terms programs which provide inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can select whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many people face. Likewise, rehab facilities will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some treatment programs accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present any other kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehabilitation center which will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug and alcohol treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in setting up the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only within the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some form of alcohol and drug treatment service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug treatment centers. Individuals may have to participate in a drug treatment facility that is inside their network of providers and there might be other restrictions like the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a good program they like and meet with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance covers it.
