Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab services in terms of level of care, because the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to be in a rehab program while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even though this might appear perfect it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than lots of people in rehab need to have a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people face. Likewise, rehabilitation centers will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs accept Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present some other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality treatment facility which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in establishing the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only in the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some form of alcohol and drug treatment service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehab programs. Individuals may have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center that is inside their network of providers and there could be other restrictions including just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a quality center they prefer and speak with a treatment specialist to determine if their insurance will handle it.
