Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in many different settings with different rehab lengths and plans to accommodate the various needs of clients with any type of and level of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential centers now being covered by many insurance companies, you shouldn't have to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab services regarding intensity of care, as the individual can keep their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to be in a treatment program while receiving rehabilitation services. Although this may seem perfect it might not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many people in treatment have to have to experience a productive rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use because of the challenges their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this issue can be difficult among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL as well as other assistance services readily available for them when substance abuse rehab is necessary. Besides ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are receiving the support they require in drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but individuals really have a great deal of leverage because they can choose whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people face. Likewise, treatment facilities will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present another kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may choose to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehab center that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug and alcohol rehab centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in setting up the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as 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 costs of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might qualify for state insurance, they should talk with 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 treatment, but typically only inside the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some form of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals could have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab center that is in their network of providers and there might be other restrictions including the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a quality program they prefer and meet with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain drug abuse rehabilitation solutions. 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 liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some restrictions regarding how much time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before you start treatment so that it's clear how long and individual can stay in the rehab program of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility offered by a variety of alcohol and drug rehab facilities to help help individuals pay for treatment where this might not have been possible originally. As an example, one client's price for rehab could possibly be different and less than another person whose finances are better which makes them better able to pay the full price of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account variables aside from income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
