Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in many different settings and with various rehabilitation lengths and plans to accommodate the various demands of clients with any kind of and level of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential centers now being covered by many insurance plans, you don't have to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions regarding level of care, since the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to remain in a treatment program while receiving rehabilitation services. Even if this might seem perfect it may not provide the much needed change of environment than a lot of people in recovery need to have a successful rehab.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and drug abuse because of the challenges their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this issue can often be hard among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and other assistance services designed for them when substance abuse rehabilitation is necessary. Apart from ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are getting the support they need in drug and alcohol rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but individuals actually have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, treatment programs will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers accept Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present any other form of private health care insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehab program which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in establishing the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug and alcohol rehab service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities. Individuals may have to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment program which is within their network of providers and there can be other limitations including the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a good center they prefer and meet with a treatment counselor to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain drug abuse rehab services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some restrictions as to just how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before beginning treatment so that it is clear the length of time and individual can stay in the rehab facility of preference.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug treatment programs offer payment assistance to help individuals who may possibly not have adequate money to self pay for rehabilitation or whose health insurance won't provide coverage or total coverage for his or her stay. By way of example, Sometimes insurance only covers a short-term program when in actuality a long-term center is going to be the more ideal option. To find out what payment assistance may be available, for instance a sliding fee scale, seek advice from the program for details.
