Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to intensity of care, since the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation facility while receiving rehabilitation services. Even though this may appear ideal it might not provide the required change of atmosphere than many people in recovery have to have to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders are what are known in the field of drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must handle both disorders whilst in rehabilitation in order to find resolution due to the fact one usually triggers the other. Fortunately, there are several alcohol and drug rehab programs who can specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders face in order to not merely become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never feel the need to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but people really have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehab programs will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present any other form of private health care insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals might want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality treatment program that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in establishing the person's rehab plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If a person doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether 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 rehabilitation, but generally only inside the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug and alcohol treatment service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug treatment facilities. Individuals might have to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment center that's in their network of providers and there can be other restrictions like the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent center they prefer and meet with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain substance abuse rehab solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities along with partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some limitations regarding just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehab is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered before you begin rehab so that it is clear how long and individual can remain in the rehabilitation center of preference.
