Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions regarding intensity of care, for the reason that individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to remain in a rehabilitation facility while undergoing rehab services. While this may seem perfect it might not provide the much needed change of environment than many people in treatment need to have a successful rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse due to the problems that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this problem can be difficult among the hearing impaired, there are ASL and also other assistance services designed for them when substance abuse treatment is necessary. Aside from ASL, such services may include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired people are receiving the support they need in alcohol and drug rehab.

Other Languages

In each and every city in the U.S. there is someone struggling with drug abuse that isn't necessarily fluent in English, who might require treatment in whatever language it is they are fluent in to ensure their needs may be met properly during treatment. Fortunately, there are many drug rehabilitation facilities which have counselors within their facility who speak other languages to make drug rehabilitation the best experience possible for any individual. Simply locate a quality drug treatment center and find out if it is possible to receive rehab in other languages.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but people actually have a much more leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. Likewise, rehab centers will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present some other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality treatment center which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug rehabilitation facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in establishing the person's treatment plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other kind 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 drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if 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 apply. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some type of alcohol and drug treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment facilities. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment program which is inside their network of providers and there can be other restrictions for example the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a good center they like and speak with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular substance abuse treatment services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some restrictions regarding how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before you start treatment so that it's clear just how long and individual can stay in the rehab center of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility offered by numerous drug and alcohol rehab facilities in an effort to help individuals pay for rehabilitation where this may not have been doable originally. For instance, one client's price for rehab could possibly be different and lower than another individual whose finances are better which makes them better able to pay the full expense of treatment. Registrars take into account other factors apart from income including number of dependents to ascertain the final cost and using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many alcohol and drug rehab facilities offer payment assistance to help individuals who may not have adequate money to self pay for treatment or whose medical insurance won't provide coverage or full coverage for his or her stay. As an example, Occasionally insurance only pays for a short-term program when in actuality a long-term program is going to be the more ideal option. To determine what payment assistance may be offered, like a sliding fee scale, consult the facility for particulars.
