Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a number of settings with different treatment lengths and plans to accommodate the various needs of clients with any sort of and level of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential programs now being paid by many insurance companies, you shouldn't have to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services in terms of level of care, since the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to remain in a rehabilitation program while receiving rehabilitation services. Although this might appear ideal it will not provide the much needed change of environment than many individuals in rehab need to have a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders are what are recognized in the field of drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must tackle both disorders while in treatment in order to find resolution simply because one typically exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are lots of drug rehab programs who are able to specifically hone in on the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues face in order to not merely become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not consider it wise to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but people really have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can select whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many men and women face. Likewise, treatment centers will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities accept Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present another form of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality treatment facility which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug treatment facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug rehabilitation facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in setting up the individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some type of alcohol and drug rehab service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities. Individuals might have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab facility which is inside their network of providers and there can be other restrictions for example the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a quality program they prefer and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain drug abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs in addition to partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some limitations about the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before you start rehab so that it is clear how much time and individual can remain in the treatment center of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility provided by many different drug and alcohol rehab programs in order to help individuals pay for rehabilitation where this may not have been possible initially. As an example, one client's price for treatment might be different and somebody else whose financial situation is better which makes them better able to pay the full cost of treatment. Registrars take into account additional circumstances apart from income including number of dependents to ascertain the final cost and using the sliding scale.
