Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in several settings along with various rehabilitation lengths and plans to suit the varying needs of clients with any kind of and level of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being covered by many insurance plans, there is no need to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab solutions in terms of level of care, because the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to be in a treatment program while receiving rehab services. Even though this may appear ideal it might not provide the much needed change of environment than many people in rehabilitation need to have a productive rehabilitation.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders in many cases are given the option or ordered to treatment as part of sentencing. Sometimes, the offender can select which treatment facility they wish to go to. When successfully completed, DUI and DWI offenders benefit from reduced sentencing options to be able to progress in their lives without having to be penalized any more.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but individuals really have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people face. Likewise, rehab programs will often provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation programs accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present some other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality treatment program that will produce better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug treatment centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in setting up the person's rehab plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug rehab service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment facilities. Individuals might have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility that is within their network of providers and there might be other restrictions for example the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a quality program they prefer and consult with a rehab specialist to find out if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain substance abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs and also partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some limitations regarding how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before beginning rehab so that it is clear how long and individual can remain in the rehabilitation facility of choice.
