Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in many different settings along with various rehabilitation lengths and plans to suit the varying demands of clients with any sort of and amount of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential programs now being included in many insurance companies, there is no need to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of intensity of care, for the reason that individual can maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to stay in a treatment facility while undergoing treatment services. Even if this might appear ideal it may not provide the required change of surroundings than many people in treatment need to have a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but people actually have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, treatment centers will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present some other kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation program which will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at alcohol and drug rehab centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

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 forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could qualify for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only within the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some type of alcohol and drug rehab service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug treatment programs. Individuals could possibly have to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment center which is in their network of providers and there can be other limitations like the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a good center they like and speak with a rehab counselor to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain drug abuse rehab solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities along with partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There could be some restrictions as to how much time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehab is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before you start rehab so that it's clear just how long and individual can stay in the treatment center of choice.
