If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only inside the state which provides the insurance plan.

Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities as well as partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some restrictions concerning how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered prior to starting treatment so that it is clear how long and individual can stay in the treatment center of preference.
