Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in many different settings and with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to accommodate the various demands of clients with any kind of and amount of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential centers now being included in many insurance plans, you don't have to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to level of care, because the individual can preserve their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation facility while receiving rehabilitation services. Although this may seem perfect it will not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many individuals in treatment need to experience a successful rehabilitation.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders are often given the choice or ordered to rehab as a term of their sentencing. Quite often, the offender can select which treatment facility they wish to enroll in. When successfully completed, DUI and DWI offenders can take advantage of decreased sentencing options so that they can progress in their lives without having to be penalized any more.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but people actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. Likewise, treatment centers will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present another kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals may want to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehabilitation facility that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only inside the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug and alcohol treatment service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals may have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center that's inside their network of providers and there could be other limitations such as the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a good center they like and consult with a treatment counselor to find out if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain drug abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with 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 consultant. There could be some restrictions concerning just how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before you begin rehab so that it's clear how long and individual can stay in the rehab center of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option provided by a variety of drug rehab programs in an effort to help clients afford rehabilitation where this might not have been possible originally. For instance, one client's price for rehabilitation could be different and lower than somebody else whose finances are better making them better able to spend the money for full cost of rehab. Registrars take into account other factors besides income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
