Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab solutions regarding intensity of care, as the individual can keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation facility while undergoing treatment services. Even though this may appear ideal it might not provide the required change of atmosphere than many individuals in rehabilitation need to experience a successful rehab.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug treatment facilities have the staff or wherewithal to cater to the needs of Spanish speaking clients, but luckily there are more and more programs that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Therapy, study information and the like are now very often available in Spanish in both short and long terms centers which deliver inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone'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 disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage simply because they can decide on whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, treatment centers will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation facilities will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present some other type of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals might want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum 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 drug and alcohol treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug and alcohol treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in establishing the individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as 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 expense of drug and alcohol rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether 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 handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only in the state which provides the insurance.

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 treatment service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab centers. Individuals could have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab facility that is within their network of providers and there could be other limitations for example the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent program they like and speak with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain drug abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some restrictions regarding the length of time a stay in inpatient drug rehab is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it is clear just how long and individual can remain in the treatment program of choice.
