Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in several settings and with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to suit the varying demands of clients with any sort of and level of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being covered by many insurance plans, there is no need to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions regarding level of care, as the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of needing to be in a treatment facility while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even if this may appear ideal it may not provide the much needed change of environment than many people in rehabilitation have to have to have a successful rehab.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehab programs possess the staff or resources to focus on the demands of Spanish speaking clients, but luckily there are more and more programs that can do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Counselling, study info and the like are now frequently accessible in Spanish in both short and long terms centers which provide inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is also available nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but people actually have a much more leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many individuals face. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present any other kind of private health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehab center which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment facility.

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 kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only inside the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some type of drug and alcohol treatment service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment facilities. Individuals may have to take part in a drug rehab facility which is within their network of providers and there can be other limitations including the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select an excellent program they like and consult with a treatment counselor to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility offered by a variety of drug rehabilitation programs in order to help clients afford treatment where this might not have been possible originally. For example, one client's fee for treatment could possibly be different and someone else whose finances are better making them more prepared to pay the full expense of rehab. Registrars take into account variables in addition to income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
