Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab solutions in terms of intensity of care, because the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to be in a treatment program while receiving rehab services. While this may appear perfect it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than a lot of people in treatment have to have to have a productive rehabilitation.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into treatment as part of a court ruling to satisfy a part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug treatment often receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when being cooperative with alcohol and drug rehab specifications enforced on them in sentencing especially of course when successfully completing a drug treatment facility.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and drug abuse as a result of problems their impairment impose on them. While detection of this problem can be difficult among the hearing impaired, there are ASL along with other assistance services available for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is required. Other than ASL, such services can include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired folks are getting the help they need in alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people face. In addition, rehabilitation centers will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present any other type of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality treatment center that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at alcohol and drug rehab centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in setting up the person's rehab plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment 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 expense of alcohol and drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might be eligible for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only inside the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some form of drug and alcohol treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab facilities. Individuals might have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment facility which is within their network of providers and there might be other restrictions such as just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent facility they like and consult with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular substance abuse rehab solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some restrictions regarding how long a stay in inpatient drug treatment is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it's clear just how long and individual can stay in the treatment center of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility made available from many different alcohol and drug rehab programs in an effort to help clients afford rehab where this might not have been possible initially. As an example, one client's fee for rehab may be different and less than another individual whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to spend the money for full expense of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account additional circumstances besides income including amount of dependents to determine the final cost using the sliding scale.
