Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions with regards to level of care, for the reason that individual can maintain their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation facility while receiving treatment services. Even if this might appear ideal it might not provide the much needed change of environment than a lot of people in rehab have to have to have a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders are what are identified in the field of alcohol and drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must address both disorders during rehab to find resolution because one often triggers the other. Fortunately, there are numerous drug treatment programs who are able to specifically address the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face in order to not merely become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not wish to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but people actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. In addition, treatment programs will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present another form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may choose to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality treatment program that will get better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other type 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 may be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they can 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 typically only inside the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some type of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab programs. Individuals could have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center which is in their network of providers and there might be other limitations like how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select an excellent facility they prefer and consult with a treatment specialist to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular drug abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs and also 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 consultant. There could be some limitations regarding the length of time a stay in inpatient drug treatment is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered before beginning rehab so that it's clear just how long and individual can stay in the rehab center of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option available from a number of alcohol and drug rehab centers to help help clients pay for rehab where this might not have been possible originally. By way of example, one client's fee for rehabilitation might be different and lower than somebody else whose finances are better making them more prepared to pay the full cost of rehab. Registrars take into account additional circumstances in addition to income including number of dependents to determine the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities provide payment assistance to help individuals who might not have sufficient money to self pay for rehab or whose health insurance won't provide coverage or full coverage for his or her stay. As an example, Sometimes insurance only covers a short-term facility when in actuality a long-term program will likely be the more suitable option. To see what payment assistance might be available, such as a sliding fee scale, talk with the program for particulars.
