Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in many different settings along with different treatment lengths and plans to suit the various needs of clients with any kind of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential centers now being covered by many insurance plans, there is no need to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to intensity of care, since the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a treatment program while undergoing rehab services. Even though this might appear ideal it will not provide the required change of atmosphere than lots of people in treatment have to have to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but people actually have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. In addition, rehab programs will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present another type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation center which will produce better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation program.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some form of drug and alcohol rehab service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab centers. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug rehabilitation program which is inside their network of providers and there may be other restrictions such as the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select a quality facility they like and consult with a treatment counselor to determine if their insurance covers it.
