Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in several settings along with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to suit the varying needs of clients with any type of and amount of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential centers now being included in many insurance plans, you shouldn't have to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of level of care, as the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehabilitation program while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even though this may appear perfect it might not provide the much needed change of surroundings than a lot of people in recovery require to have a productive rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but individuals really have a much more leverage because they can select whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehab centers will often offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present some other type of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehab program that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in setting up the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug and alcohol treatment service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug treatment programs. Individuals could have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment program that's inside their network of providers and there might be other limitations for example just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a quality facility they prefer and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain substance abuse rehab services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some restrictions concerning how much time a stay in inpatient drug rehab is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before you begin rehab so that it's clear just how long and individual can remain in the rehabilitation center of choice.
