Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment solutions with regards to intensity of care, for the reason that individual can keep their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to stay in a treatment facility while receiving rehab services. Even if this might appear perfect it will not provide the required change of surroundings than lots of people in treatment require to have a productive rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but people actually have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women face. In addition, treatment facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation centers will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present another form of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation facility which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug rehab programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in setting up the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some sort of alcohol and drug rehab service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab facilities. Individuals might have to participate in a drug treatment facility that's inside their network of providers and there may be other limitations such as the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a good facility they prefer and consult with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities as well as partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some restrictions as to the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before you start rehab so that it's clear just how long and individual can stay in the treatment program of preference.
