Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services in terms of intensity of care, as the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehab center while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even though this might seem ideal it will not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than lots of people in rehabilitation require to experience a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but people in fact have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. In addition, rehab facilities will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers will take Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present another type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehab facility which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab program.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some sort of alcohol and drug treatment service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals could have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab program which is inside their network of providers and there can be other limitations for example how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent facility they like and meet with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There could be some limitations about how much time a stay in inpatient drug rehab is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before beginning rehab so that it is clear the length of time and individual can stay in the rehabilitation program of choice.
