Some rehab programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present some other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehab center which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation program.

Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers and also partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some limitations about the length of time a stay in inpatient drug treatment is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered before you start treatment so that it is clear how much time and individual can stay in the treatment facility of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale
