Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a number of settings along with different rehab lengths and plans to accommodate the various demands of clients with any kind of and amount of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being covered by many insurance companies, there's no need to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions in terms of level of care, for the reason that individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to remain in a rehabilitation program while undergoing treatment services. Although this might appear ideal it will not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many individuals in rehab need to have a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals really have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, treatment programs will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present any other form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may choose to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehabilitation center that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment center.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to ascertain 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 in the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some kind of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals could have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility which is in their network of providers and there could be other limitations for example just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a good program they like and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain drug abuse rehab solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There could be some restrictions about the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before you start rehab so that it's clear how long and individual can stay in the rehab facility of choice.
