Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services in terms of level of care, as the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to be in a rehabilitation facility while receiving rehabilitation services. Although this may appear perfect it will not provide the much needed change of environment than lots of people in recovery need to have a successful rehab.

Seniors/Older Adults

Seniors and older adults who have trouble with drug use might have distinctive obstacles they must conquer while in rehab, which rehab professionals in the facility they choose to be a part of must be keen of so that a complete recovery is achievable. So for seniors and older adults, it is advisable to pick a facility that's accustomed to helping seniors and older adults tackle the unique life and drug abuse issues that these clients face which may include a broader spectrum of services including medical care and the like.

Spanish

Not all drug treatment facilities possess the staff or resources to cater to the needs of Spanish speaking clients, but luckily there are more and more centers that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Counselling, study information and the like are now very often accessible in Spanish in both long and short terms programs which deliver inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish rehab is available too nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but people in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can select whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, treatment programs will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers accept Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present any other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehab facility that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at alcohol and drug treatment programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the program is included 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 solutions are covered 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 can be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some form of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals may have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center which is within their network of providers and there may be other restrictions for example the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent facility they prefer and meet with a rehabilitation counselor to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option provided by a number of drug and alcohol treatment centers to help help clients pay for rehab where this may not have been possible initially. As an example, one client's price for rehab could be different and less than another individual whose financial situation is better which makes them more prepared to pay the full cost of rehab. Registrars take into consideration other factors aside from income including amount of dependents to determine the final cost using the sliding scale.
