Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a number of settings with various treatment lengths and plans to accommodate the various needs of clients with any sort of and level of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being covered by many insurance plans, there's no need to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab solutions with regards to intensity of care, because the individual can preserve their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to stay in a rehabilitation facility while receiving rehab services. Even if this might seem ideal it may not provide the much needed change of environment than many people in recovery require to experience a productive rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use because of the challenges that their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem is often hard among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL as well as other assistance services available for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is necessary. Apart from ASL, such services can include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are receiving the help they require in drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people face. In addition, treatment facilities will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehab facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present another form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to pay for a more quality treatment center that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in establishing the person's rehab plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

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 whether they may qualify for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only in the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some form of drug rehab service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug treatment facilities. Individuals could have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility that is inside their network of providers and there may be other restrictions such as the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a good program they like and speak with a treatment counselor to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain substance abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs in addition to partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some limitations concerning how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered before you start rehab so that it is clear just how long and individual can stay in the treatment facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility available from a variety of drug rehabilitation programs to help help clients pay for rehabilitation where this may not have been possible initially. As an example, one client's price for treatment may be different and someone else whose finances are better making them better able to pay the full cost of treatment. Registrars take into consideration variables aside from income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost and using the sliding scale.
