Therapy, study info and so on are now frequently accessible in Spanish in both short and long terms facilities which deliver inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but people actually have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many individuals face. In addition, rehab facilities will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present any other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality treatment program which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug rehab facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in establishing the individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only in the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some type of drug treatment service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehab programs. Individuals could have to take part in a drug treatment center that is inside their network of providers and there can be other restrictions for example how long their stay in rehab is covered.
