Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services regarding level of care, as the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehab program while undergoing rehab services. While this might seem perfect it may not provide the required change of environment than many people in recovery have to have to experience a productive rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders are what are recognized in the field of drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must deal with both disorders whilst in rehab to find resolution due to the fact one often exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are many alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities who can specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders face so that they can not only become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never consider it wise to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use due to challenges that their impairment impose on them. While detection of this issue can be hard among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL and other assistance services designed for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is needed. Other than ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are getting the support they require in drug and alcohol treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but individuals in fact have a much more leverage due to the fact they can select whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, treatment facilities will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab centers accept Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present another type of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehab program that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug rehab centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only in the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug rehabilitation service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab facilities. Individuals may have to take part in a drug treatment center that's in their network of providers and there may be other limitations like how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent facility they like and consult with a rehab specialist to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain drug abuse rehab services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs in addition to partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some limitations as to the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before beginning rehabilitation so that it's clear how much time and individual can stay in the treatment program of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option offered by a number of alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in order to help individuals afford rehab where this might not have been possible originally. As an example, one client's price for rehab may be different and lower than another individual whose finances are better which makes them better able to pay the full price of rehab. Registrars take into consideration variables besides income including number of dependents to determine the final cost and using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many alcohol and drug treatment facilities offer payment assistance to help individuals who might possibly not have sufficient resources to self pay for rehabilitation or whose health insurance won't provide coverage or full coverage for his or her stay. For example, Occasionally insurance only covers a short-term facility when in actuality a long-term facility will probably be the more ideal option. To see what payment assistance can be offered, such as a sliding fee scale, consult the facility for details.
