Drug Treatment Help Request

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but people in fact have a much more leverage due to the fact they can select whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people face. In addition, rehabilitation centers will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some type of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals may have to participate in a drug rehab program which is within their network of providers and there can be other limitations such as how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent center they like and meet with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular drug abuse treatment services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers as well as partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some restrictions concerning the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it's clear just how long and individual can remain in the treatment program of choice.
