Drug Treatment Help Request

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a number of settings with various treatment lengths and plans to suit the varying needs of clients with any kind of and degree of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential programs now being paid by many insurance plans, you don't have to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab solutions in terms of level of care, since the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehab facility while receiving rehab services. Even though this may appear perfect it might not provide the required change of environment than many individuals in rehab have to have to experience a successful rehab.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders in many cases are given the choice or ordered to rehab as part of sentencing. Sometimes, the offender can select which rehabilitation facility they would like to attend. Upon successful completion, DUI and DWI offenders can take advantage of decreased sentencing options so that they can progress in their lives without getting penalized further.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but people actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women face. Likewise, treatment programs will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in establishing the person's rehab plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only in the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some type of drug treatment service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals could have to participate in a drug treatment center which is inside their network of providers and there can be other restrictions such as the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a quality program they like and speak with a rehab counselor to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular substance abuse rehab services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities and also partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some restrictions concerning how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehab so that it's clear how much time and individual can remain in the rehab center of choice.
