Drug Addiction Facts

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab solutions with regards to level of care, for the reason that individual can preserve their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to stay in a treatment center while receiving treatment services. Even though this may appear perfect it might not provide the much needed change of environment than many individuals in treatment require to experience a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders are what are identified in the field of drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must handle both disorders whilst in rehab to find resolution because one usually triggers the other. Fortunately, there are many drug and alcohol treatment programs who are able to specifically hone in on the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face to enable them to not merely become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage simply because they can select whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. Likewise, treatment centers will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehab facilities will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present another type of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehabilitation program that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug and alcohol treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in establishing the individual's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug treatment service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug treatment centers. Individuals might have to take part in a drug rehab program which is inside their network of providers and there can be other limitations including the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a good facility they prefer and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain substance abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities as well as partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some restrictions as to how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol 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 rehab facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option available from many different alcohol and drug treatment programs in order to help individuals afford rehab where this may not have been possible initially. For instance, one client's price for treatment could possibly be different and less than another individual whose financial situation is better which makes them better able to pay the full cost of treatment. Registrars take into consideration additional factors besides income including amount of dependents to determine the final cost using the sliding scale.
