Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions with regards to intensity of care, because the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to stay in a rehab center while receiving rehab services. Even if this might appear ideal it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than lots of people in rehab have to have to have a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of treatment or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people face. In addition, rehab programs will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation centers will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present any other form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals might want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality treatment center that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug rehab facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with establishing the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like 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 may be used to cover the expense of drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some sort of alcohol and drug rehab service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment centers. Individuals could have to participate in a drug rehabilitation center that's inside their network of providers and there might be other restrictions for example the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a good center they prefer and meet with a treatment specialist to find out if their insurance will cover it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility offered by numerous drug and alcohol treatment facilities in an effort to help individuals pay for rehab where this may not have been possible originally. For instance, one client's fee for treatment could be different and less than another individual whose financial situation is better which makes them better able to pay the full cost of treatment. Registrars take into account other factors apart from income including amount of dependents to determine the final cost and using the sliding scale.
