Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a number of settings with various treatment lengths and plans to accommodate the various needs of clients with any type of and amount of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being covered by many insurance plans, there is no need to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions with regards to level of care, for the reason that individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to remain in a rehabilitation center while undergoing rehab services. Although this might seem ideal it will not provide the required change of atmosphere than a lot of people in rehab require to have a successful rehab.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders are often given the choice or ordered to rehab as part of sentencing. Quite often, the offender can decide which rehab program they would like to attend. When successfully completed, DUI and DWI offenders benefit from reduced sentencing options to be able to move ahead in their lives without having to be penalized further.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't pay for the total cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but people really have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. In addition, rehab programs will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities will take Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present another type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals might want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality treatment facility that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab center.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only in the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some form of drug treatment service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment centers. Individuals might have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab program which is within their network of providers and there could be other limitations such as just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent facility they like and meet with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some restrictions concerning how much time a stay in inpatient drug rehab is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before beginning rehab so that it's clear how much time and individual can remain in the rehab facility of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option available from many different alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in an effort to help clients afford rehabilitation where this might not have been possible originally. For example, one client's fee for treatment might be different and another person whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to pay for the full expense of treatment. Registrars consider additional factors apart from income including number of dependents to determine the final cost and using the sliding scale.
