Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a number of settings with different treatment lengths and plans to accommodate the varying demands of clients with any sort of and level of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being included in many insurance companies, there's no need to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions regarding intensity of care, because the individual can keep their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to remain in a rehab facility while undergoing treatment services. Although this may seem ideal it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many people in rehabilitation require to experience a successful rehab.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders are often given the possibility or ordered to rehabilitation as part of sentencing. In many cases, the offender can select which treatment facility they wish to go to. Upon successful completion, DUI and DWI offenders can take advantage of reduced sentencing options to be able to move forward in their lives without having to be penalized any further.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse due to challenges their impairment impose on them. While detection of this issue can be difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and other assistance services available for them when substance abuse rehab is required. Other than ASL, such services can include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are getting the help they require in drug treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but people really have a much more leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people face. Likewise, rehab centers will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment centers accept Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present another type of private health care insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals might want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehabilitation center which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug rehabilitation facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in setting up the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment 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 costs of drug and alcohol treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only inside the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some type of alcohol and drug treatment service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug treatment facility that's within their network of providers and there could be other limitations for example the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a quality facility they like and consult with a treatment specialist to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain substance abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities and also partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some limitations as to the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered prior to starting treatment so that it's clear how long and individual can remain in the rehabilitation facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option provided by many different alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in an effort to help clients pay for rehab where this may not have been doable originally. For example, one client's price for rehabilitation may be different and less than another individual whose financial situation is better which makes them more prepared to spend the money for full price of treatment. Registrars take into consideration additional circumstances aside from income including number of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.
