Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a number of settings with various treatment lengths and plans to accommodate the various demands of clients with any type of and degree of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being paid by many insurance companies, there is no need to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to level of care, since the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation program while receiving rehab services. Even if this might appear perfect it might not provide the required change of atmosphere than many people in treatment require to have a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. In addition, rehabilitation facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain treatment centers will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present some other form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehabilitation facility which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug rehabilitation programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in setting up the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might qualify for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only in the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehab service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug treatment programs. Individuals could have to take part in a drug rehabilitation facility that is in their network of providers and there might be other restrictions including just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent program they prefer and consult with a treatment counselor to determine if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular drug abuse rehab services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some restrictions regarding just how long a stay in inpatient drug treatment is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before beginning treatment so that it's clear the length of time and individual can remain in the rehabilitation center of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility offered by many different alcohol and drug treatment centers to help help individuals pay for rehab where this might not have been possible initially. For example, one client's price for treatment could possibly be different and lower than another person whose finances are better making them better able to spend the money for full expense of treatment. Registrars consider other factors besides income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug rehabilitation programs provide payment assistance to help clients who may not have adequate money to self pay for rehabilitation or whose health insurance won't supply coverage or total coverage for their stay. As an example, Occasionally insurance only pays for a short-term center when in actuality a long-term facility will likely be the more appropriate selection. To see what payment assistance could be available, such as a sliding fee scale, consult the center for particulars.
