Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a number of settings and with different treatment lengths and plans to suit the varying demands of clients with any kind of and degree of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential programs now being paid by many insurance companies, you don't have to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anybody who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab services in terms of intensity of care, since the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a rehab center while undergoing treatment services. Although this might seem perfect it will not provide the required change of surroundings than many individuals in recovery require to experience a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many individuals face. Likewise, rehab facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation facilities accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present another form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehab facility which will get better results, like a long-term residential drug rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at alcohol and drug treatment facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in establishing the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other kind 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 expense of alcohol and drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only in the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some sort of alcohol and drug rehab service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers. Individuals could possibly have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab facility that is inside their network of providers and there may be other restrictions such as how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent facility they like and meet with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug and alcohol rehab programs provide payment assistance to help clients who might not have adequate money to self pay for rehab or whose medical insurance won't supply coverage or full coverage for their stay. As an example, Occasionally insurance only covers a short-term center when in reality a long-term center is going to be the more ideal option. To find out what payment assistance might be offered, for instance a sliding fee scale, consult the program for particulars.
