Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services in terms of intensity of care, since the individual can keep their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to be in a treatment facility while receiving rehab services. Although this may seem ideal it may not provide the required change of environment than many people in recovery need to have a successful rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs possess the staff or wherewithal to cater to the needs of Spanish speaking clients, but thankfully there are more and more programs that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Therapy, study information and stuff like that are now very often accessible in Spanish in both short and long terms programs which provide inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish treatment is available too around the country.

Other Languages

In each and every city in America there is someone struggling with drug abuse that isn't necessarily fluent in English, who might need rehab in whichever language it is that they are fluent in so that their needs may be met properly while in rehabilitation. Luckily, there are many drug and alcohol treatment programs which have counselors within their facility who speak other languages to make alcohol and drug rehabilitation the very best experience possible for any individual. Simply look for a high quality alcohol and drug rehab program and inquire if it is possible to receive treatment in other languages.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but people really have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. In addition, rehabilitation programs will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs will take Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present some other type of private health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals might want to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality treatment program that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in establishing the individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation 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 costs of drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only in the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

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

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain drug abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities as well as partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some restrictions as to how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before beginning treatment so that it is clear the length of time and individual can remain in the rehabilitation facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility made available from numerous alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in an effort to help individuals afford treatment where this may not have been doable originally. By way of example, one client's fee for rehabilitation could be different and less than somebody else whose finances are better which makes them better able to spend the money for full cost of treatment. Registrars consider variables in addition to income including number of dependents to determine the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
