Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services with regards to intensity of care, because the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to be in a rehab facility while receiving rehabilitation services. Even if this may appear ideal it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many people in treatment have to have to have a successful rehab.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers have the staff or resources to focus on the needs of Spanish speaking clients, but thankfully there are more and more programs that are able to do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Counselling, study information and stuff like that are actually frequently available in Spanish in both long and short terms centers which deliver inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a much more leverage simply because they can select whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many individuals face. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present some other kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may choose to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality treatment center which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to determine 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 within the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug treatment service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehab programs. Individuals could have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility that's within their network of providers and there could be other limitations such as the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a good program they like and meet with a rehabilitation specialist to determine if their insurance will cover it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option made available from many different drug and alcohol rehab programs in order to help clients pay for treatment where this may not have been possible originally. For instance, one client's fee for rehab may be different and lower than somebody else whose finances are better making them better able to pay the full expense of rehab. Registrars take into consideration additional circumstances aside from income including number of dependents to determine the final cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug rehab centers offer payment assistance to help individuals who might possibly not have enough funds to self pay for treatment or whose medical insurance won't provide coverage or full coverage for their stay. By way of example, Sometimes insurance only covers a short-term program when in actuality a long-term program is going to be the more suitable selection. To find out what payment assistance could be offered, such as a sliding fee scale, consult the program for details.
