Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a variety of settings along with various rehabilitation lengths and plans to accommodate the varying demands of clients with any type of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being paid by many insurance companies, there is no need to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who needs it.

Detoxification

Detoxification from alcohol and drugs is a course of action which can be made a lot more manageable and safely supervised when in a professional detoxification or alcohol and drug treatment center. Sometimes detoxification isn't risk free, and even with the very best of intentions individuals who proceed through detoxification on their own in an effort to get sober might really be putting their health as well as their lives in danger. It is usually advisable to seek out detoxification services in a professional center to avoid such dangers and also to have a smooth transition from detoxification to rehabilitation in a top quality drug and alcohol treatment facility.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab solutions in terms of level of care, for the reason that individual can keep their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehabilitation program while receiving rehab services. Although this might appear perfect it may not provide the required change of atmosphere than a lot of people in recovery require to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but individuals in fact have a much more leverage because they can select whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, rehabilitation facilities will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present some other type of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehab program that will produce better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at alcohol and drug rehab facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in establishing the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation 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 costs of drug and alcohol treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. When someone does not have any 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 ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only in the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug and alcohol rehab service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab programs. Individuals might have to participate in a drug treatment program that is inside their network of providers and there can be other limitations for example just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a good center they like and meet with a treatment counselor to determine if their insurance will handle it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility provided by a number of alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities to help help individuals afford rehab where this might not have been possible initially. By way of example, one client's fee for treatment could be different and less than another person whose financial situation is better making them better able to pay the full price of rehab. Registrars consider variables in addition to income including number of dependents to determine the final cost and using the sliding scale.
