Aside from ASL, such services might include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are receiving the help they require in drug treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but people really have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people face. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will often provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present any other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality treatment program that will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug rehabilitation centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in setting up the individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as 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 can be used to cover the costs of drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only inside the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some type of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities. Individuals could have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment program which is in their network of providers and there can be other limitations for example the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a quality center they like and consult with a rehab counselor to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs and also partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some restrictions regarding just how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before you begin rehab so that it's clear the length of time and individual can stay in the treatment program of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option offered by a number of alcohol and drug rehab facilities in order to help individuals pay for rehab where this might not have been possible originally. As an example, one client's fee for rehab could be different and somebody else whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to pay the full expense of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account other factors aside from income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
