Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment solutions regarding intensity of care, since the individual can maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to be in a treatment program while receiving rehabilitation services. Even if this might seem ideal it may not provide the required change of environment than many people in rehab require to experience a productive rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but people actually have a much more leverage simply because they can decide on whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many individuals face. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities accept Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present any other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehab program which will get better results, like a long-term residential drug treatment facility.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only in the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some form of alcohol and drug treatment service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehab centers. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug treatment facility which is within their network of providers and there could be other restrictions such as the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select a quality facility they prefer and consult with a rehab specialist to find out if their insurance will cover it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option made available from a number of drug and alcohol treatment facilities in order to help clients afford rehab where this might not have been doable originally. By way of example, one client's fee for treatment could possibly be different and less than another individual whose finances are better making them more prepared to pay the full cost of rehab. Registrars consider additional circumstances aside from income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.
