With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential programs now being included in many insurance plans, there's no need to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions regarding intensity of care, because the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation center while receiving treatment services. Even if this might appear perfect it might not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than a lot of people in recovery require to experience a successful rehab.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders are often given the possibility or ordered to treatment as part of sentencing. Often times, the offender can decide which treatment center they would like to go to. When successfully completed, DUI and DWI offenders benefit from decreased sentencing options so that they can progress in their lives without getting penalized further.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but individuals in fact have a much more leverage due to the fact they can select whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many men and women face. Likewise, rehabilitation centers will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation facilities will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present some other form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehabilitation center which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment center.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug treatment service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment programs. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab facility that is inside their network of providers and there may be other restrictions for example the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a good center they like and consult with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.
