Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in many different settings with various rehab lengths and plans to suit the varying demands of clients with any sort of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential centers now being included in many insurance companies, there's no need to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab solutions in terms of intensity of care, since the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehabilitation center while receiving treatment services. Although this may appear perfect it might not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than lots of people in rehab need to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of treatment or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals really have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many people encounter. In addition, rehabilitation centers will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present some other kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehabilitation program that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug and alcohol treatment facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with setting up the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only inside the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehab service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals could possibly have to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment center which is inside their network of providers and there could be other restrictions such as how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a quality program they like and consult with a treatment specialist to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain substance abuse treatment solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some restrictions as to the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before beginning rehab so that it's clear how much time and individual can remain in the treatment program of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility available from a variety of alcohol and drug rehab programs in an effort to help clients afford treatment where this might not have been possible originally. By way of example, one client's price for treatment could be different and lower than another individual whose financial situation is better making them better able to spend the money for full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars take into consideration variables aside from income including number of dependents to determine the final cost and using the sliding scale.
