Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to intensity of care, because the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to remain in a treatment center while undergoing rehabilitation services. Although this may appear perfect it may not provide the required change of surroundings than a lot of people in treatment require to have a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals really have a much more leverage simply because they can select whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present another form of private medical insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehab facility which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment center.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only inside the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some type of drug and alcohol treatment service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment programs. Individuals may have to participate in a drug rehab center that is in their network of providers and there could be other limitations for example the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a quality program they prefer and speak with a rehabilitation specialist to find out if their insurance covers it.
