Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab solutions in terms of level of care, for the reason that individual is able to keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a treatment center while receiving rehab services. Although this might seem ideal it will not provide the required change of atmosphere than many people in recovery require to experience a successful rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse due to challenges their impairment impose on them. While detection of the issue can sometimes be difficult among the hearing impaired, there are ASL and other assistance services designed for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is required. Other than ASL, such services might include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired people are receiving the support they need in alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

Other Languages

In every city in America there is someone being affected by drug abuse that isn't necessarily fluent in English, who might need rehabilitation in whatever language it is they are fluent in to ensure that their needs may be catered to properly while in rehab. Luckily, there are lots of alcohol and drug rehab centers which have counselors within their facility who speak other languages to make drug rehab the most effective experience possible for anyone. Simply locate a high quality drug and alcohol rehabilitation center and find out if it is feasible to receive rehab in other languages.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire 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 due to the fact they can select whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. In addition, rehabilitation facilities will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present any other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehabilitation program which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the individual's treatment plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other kind 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 can be used to cover the expense of drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only within the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug and alcohol treatment service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab centers. Individuals might have to participate in a drug rehabilitation facility that's within their network of providers and there may be other restrictions for example the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a quality facility they prefer and speak with a rehabilitation specialist to find out if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain drug abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some restrictions about how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before you start rehabilitation so that it is clear just how long and individual can remain in the rehab program of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility offered by many different drug and alcohol treatment centers in an effort to help clients afford rehabilitation where this may not have been possible originally. As an example, one client's fee for treatment could possibly be different and someone else whose financial situation is better which makes them more prepared to pay the full cost of rehab. Registrars consider additional factors besides income including amount of dependents to determine the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities offer payment assistance to help individuals who may possibly not have enough funds to self pay for treatment or whose health insurance won't supply coverage or full coverage for their stay. For instance, Sometimes insurance only covers a short-term center when in actuality a long-term center is going to be the more suitable option. To find out what payment assistance can be offered, say for example a sliding fee scale, talk with the program for particulars.
