Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab solutions regarding intensity of care, as the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to remain in a rehab program while receiving rehab services. Even if this might appear perfect it may not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than lots of people in recovery need to experience a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals really have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can select whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehab centers will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present another type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation center that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab center.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only in the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some type of drug rehab service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment facilities. Individuals could have to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment facility that's within their network of providers and there can be other limitations such as the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a quality center they prefer and meet with a treatment specialist to determine if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain substance abuse rehab services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some limitations regarding how much time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered before beginning treatment so that it's clear how long and individual can stay in the treatment center of choice.
