Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions with regards to intensity of care, since the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehab program while receiving rehabilitation services. Although this may seem perfect it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many individuals in recovery have to have to experience a productive rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals really have a great deal of leverage because they can choose whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. In addition, rehabilitation facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some treatment programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present any other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality treatment facility that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in setting up the person's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other kind 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 may be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might be eligible for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only within the state which offers the insurance plan.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some limitations concerning how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before you start rehab so that it is clear how long and individual can remain in the rehab center of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option provided by a variety of drug rehabilitation programs in order to help individuals pay for rehab where this may not have been doable initially. For example, one client's price for rehab may be different and less than somebody else whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to pay for the full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars consider additional circumstances in addition to income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
