Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment 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 center while undergoing rehab services. Although this might seem perfect it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than a lot of people in treatment have to have to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues are what are known in the field of alcohol and drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must address both disorders while in rehabilitation to find resolution due to the fact one usually exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are lots of drug and alcohol rehab centers that can specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues face in order to not just become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not feel the need to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter. In addition, rehab facilities will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehab facilities accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present another kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation program that will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug and alcohol treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug and alcohol treatment service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals could have to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment center which is within their network of providers and there might be other limitations for example the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a good facility they like and consult with a rehab counselor to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular drug abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs and also partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some limitations concerning the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it is clear how much time and individual can stay in the rehabilitation center of preference.
