Therapy, study information and stuff like that are actually very often accessible in Spanish in both long and short terms programs which provide inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish treatment is also available nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but people in fact have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many people encounter.

Medicaid

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with establishing the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being paid for through 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 possibility. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only inside the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs and also partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)
