Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to level of care, since the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to be in a rehabilitation program while receiving rehabilitation services. Even though this might appear perfect it might not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many people in rehabilitation require 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 known in the field of drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must address both disorders during rehab in order to find resolution simply because one typically exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are numerous alcohol and drug rehab centers who can specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face so that they can not simply become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never wish to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage simply because they can decide on whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation centers will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some treatment programs will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present some other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can 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 treatment at drug and alcohol rehab programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the facility is included 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 Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they can consult 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 rehab, but generally only within the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug and alcohol treatment service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehab programs. Individuals might have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab facility that's within their network of providers and there could be other restrictions like just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a good program they like and meet with a rehab specialist to find out if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain drug abuse rehab solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some restrictions concerning just how long a stay in inpatient drug rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered prior to starting treatment so that it's clear the length of time and individual can remain in the treatment program of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option offered by a variety of drug and alcohol rehab facilities to help help individuals afford treatment where this may not have been possible originally. As an example, one client's price for rehabilitation may be different and less than someone else whose finances are better which makes them better able to spend the money for full expense of rehab. Registrars take into account other factors in addition to income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
