Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment solutions with regards to level of care, since the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehab center while undergoing rehab services. While this might appear ideal it might not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many people in recovery need to have a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals really have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people face. In addition, rehabilitation centers will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some treatment programs accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present any other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality treatment facility which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.
