Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in many different settings and with various treatment lengths and plans to suit the various needs of clients with any sort of and amount of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential programs now being paid by many insurance plans, there is no need to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions in terms of level of care, because the individual can preserve their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation center while receiving rehabilitation services. Even though this might appear ideal it might not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than lots of people in treatment require to have a productive rehabilitation.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders are often given the possibility or ordered to rehab as part of sentencing. Quite often, the offender can choose which rehab facility they wish to go to. When successfully completed, DUI and DWI offenders benefit from reduced sentencing options to be able to move ahead in their lives without having to be penalized further.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people face. In addition, treatment programs will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs will take Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present another type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation program which will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug rehabilitation program.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. If someone doesn't have 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 figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehab service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehab centers. Individuals could have to participate in a drug rehab program that is in their network of providers and there can be other limitations for example how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a quality facility they prefer and meet with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance covers it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option made available from a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in order to help clients afford rehabilitation where this may not have been doable originally. For example, one client's price for rehabilitation could be different and someone else whose finances are better which makes them better able to pay for the full price of rehab. Registrars take into account additional circumstances aside from income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
