Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services in terms of intensity of care, since the individual can maintain their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to remain in a rehab center while receiving treatment services. Even though this may appear perfect it will not provide the much needed change of environment than many people in treatment require to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues are what are identified in the field of drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must handle both disorders while in treatment in order to find resolution simply because one typically triggers the other. Fortunately, there are numerous drug treatment centers who are able to specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues face to enable them to not simply become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never wish to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Spanish

Not all drug rehabilitation centers have the staff or wherewithal to focus on the demands of Spanish speaking clients, but luckily there are more and more programs that are able to do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Therapy, study information and so on are now frequently obtainable in Spanish in both short and long terms programs which provide inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish treatment is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals in fact have a much more leverage due to the fact they can select whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, treatment programs will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some treatment programs accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present another type of private medical insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab inside 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 rehabilitation program that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at alcohol and drug rehab facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in setting up the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other type 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 may be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. If a person doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only in the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug rehab service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment centers. Individuals could have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program that's inside their network of providers and there might be other restrictions such as the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent facility they like and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities 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 might be some limitations as to how much time a stay in inpatient drug rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before you begin treatment so that it is clear how long and individual can remain in the treatment facility of choice.
