Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions with regards to intensity of care, because the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to stay in a treatment program while undergoing rehab services. Even though this might appear perfect it will not provide the required change of surroundings than many people in rehabilitation need to have a productive rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals really have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, rehab facilities will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities will take Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present any other form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality treatment facility which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehab center.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some form of drug and alcohol rehab service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment centers. Individuals may have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab program which is in their network of providers and there might be other limitations including the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a quality center they prefer and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance covers it.
