Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of level of care, as the individual can preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to be in a treatment center while undergoing rehabilitation services. Although this might appear perfect it may not provide the much needed change of environment than a lot of people in rehabilitation require to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many people face. Likewise, rehabilitation centers will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present any other kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals might want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation program that will get better results, like a long-term residential drug rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug rehab programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in setting up the person's rehab plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for 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 drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only within the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehab centers. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility that's in their network of providers and there may be other limitations including how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a good facility they like and meet with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs and also partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There could be some restrictions as to how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered prior to starting treatment so that it is clear just how long and individual can stay in the treatment program of choice.
