Drug Treatment Help Request

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present another type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehab center that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment facility.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only within the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some form of drug and alcohol rehab service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug treatment centers. Individuals may have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program that's within their network of providers and there could be other restrictions such as the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a good program they like and consult with a treatment specialist to find out if their insurance will handle it.
