Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services with regards to intensity of care, as the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to remain in a treatment facility while receiving rehab services. Even if this might seem ideal it might not provide the much needed change of environment than a lot of people in recovery need to experience a productive rehab.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and drug abuse as a result of problems their impairment impose on them. While detection of this problem can sometimes be difficult among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL and also other assistance services readily available for them when substance abuse rehabilitation is necessary. Aside from ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are receiving the help they require in alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but people really have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people face. Likewise, rehab centers will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment centers accept Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present another kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals might want to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation facility that will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with setting up the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered 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 treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only within the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug treatment service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug treatment centers. Individuals could have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab program which is within their network of providers and there might be other limitations such as just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a quality program they like and speak with a treatment specialist to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs in addition to partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There could be some limitations regarding the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it's clear just how long and individual can remain in the rehab program of preference.
