Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a variety of settings and with various rehab lengths and plans to accommodate the various needs of clients with any kind of and level of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential centers now being paid by many insurance companies, there is no need to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who wants it.

Detoxification

Detoxification from drugs is really a course of action which can be made far more manageable and safely supervised when in a professional detoxification or alcohol and drug treatment center. Sometimes detoxification isn't risk free, and even with the best of intentions people who proceed through detoxification independently in an effort to get sober may very well be putting their own health or perhaps their lives in danger. It is usually better to look for detoxification solutions in a professional center to avoid such hazards and also to have a smooth progression from detoxification to rehab at a top quality drug rehab facility.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment services regarding level of care, because the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehab program while receiving rehabilitation services. While this may seem perfect it will not provide the much needed change of environment than many people in rehab require to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage due to the fact they can select whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. Likewise, treatment programs will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation programs accept Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present any other form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals may choose to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality treatment center which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehabilitation program.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could qualify for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some type of drug and alcohol rehab service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment programs. Individuals may have to take part in a drug rehab facility which is within their network of providers and there might be other limitations such as the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select a quality program they like and speak with a rehab counselor to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option available from many different drug rehabilitation programs in an effort to help individuals afford treatment where this might not have been possible initially. As an example, one client's price for treatment could possibly be different and someone else whose financial situation is better which makes them more prepared to spend the money for full expense of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account variables in addition to income including amount of dependents to determine the final cost and using the sliding scale.
