Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services regarding intensity of care, as the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to remain in a treatment facility while undergoing rehabilitation services. While this might appear perfect it might not provide the required change of atmosphere than many people in treatment have to have to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders are what are identified in the field of drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must deal with both disorders while in rehab in order to find resolution due to the fact one typically triggers the other. Luckily, there are many drug and alcohol rehab programs who can specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues face to be able to not simply become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never wish to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage because they can select whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. In addition, rehab centers will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs will take Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present some other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehab program which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug rehabilitation centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in establishing the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for 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 rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only inside the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some type of drug rehab service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals might have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment facility that's in their network of providers and there could be other restrictions such as how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a quality program they like and speak with a rehab 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 substance abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some limitations regarding how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered before you start rehabilitation so that it is clear the length of time and individual can stay in the rehabilitation facility of preference.
