Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions with regards to level of care, because the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to stay in a rehabilitation program while undergoing treatment services. Even though this may appear ideal it may not provide the much needed change of environment than many individuals in rehabilitation need to have a successful rehab.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present some other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehab center that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at alcohol and drug rehab centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in establishing the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to 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 health insurance plans typically cover some sort of alcohol and drug treatment service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab programs. Individuals might have to take part in a drug rehabilitation center that is within their network of providers and there could be other restrictions for example the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a quality center they like and speak with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance will cover it.
