Drug Treatment Help Request

Medicaid

Some treatment programs accept Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present another form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals might want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehab program which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in setting up the person's rehab strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being paid for through Medicare Part B.
