Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a number of settings with different treatment lengths and plans to accommodate the various needs of clients with any kind of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential centers now being covered by many insurance companies, you shouldn't have to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions with regards to level of care, because the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to remain in a rehabilitation center while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even if this might seem perfect it may not provide the required change of atmosphere than a lot of people in rehab need to have a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't pay for the total 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 much more leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehab programs will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab centers will take Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present another kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehabilitation program which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab program.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only inside the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug and alcohol treatment service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment facility that's within their network of providers and there might be other restrictions including how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select an excellent center they like and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular drug abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some restrictions as to just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it is clear how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation center of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility made available from a variety of drug and alcohol treatment programs to help help clients afford rehab where this may not have been doable originally. By way of example, one client's fee for rehabilitation could possibly be different and less than somebody else whose finances are better which makes them better able to spend the money for full price of rehabilitation. Registrars take into consideration other factors apart from income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
