Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a number of settings along with various rehab lengths and plans to accommodate the various needs of clients with any sort of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being covered by many insurance companies, there's no need to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to level of care, since the individual can keep their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to be in a rehab center while undergoing rehab services. Even if this might appear perfect it might not provide the required change of surroundings than a lot of people in rehabilitation have to have to have a productive rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance won't cover the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals really have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, treatment facilities will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present any other kind of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality treatment center that will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab center.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option provided by many different drug treatment facilities in an effort to help clients afford rehab where this might not have been doable initially. As an example, one client's price for rehabilitation could possibly be different and lower than someone else whose financial situation is better making them better able to pay for the full cost of treatment. Registrars consider additional circumstances besides income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
