Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions with regards to intensity of care, as the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehab center while receiving rehabilitation services. Although this may appear perfect it may not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many people in rehab need to have a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse because of the challenges that their impairment impose on them. While detection of the issue is often hard among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL and other assistance services available for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is required. Other than ASL, such services may include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are receiving the help they need in alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but people really have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. Likewise, treatment facilities will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities accept Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present another form of private health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may want to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality treatment center which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at alcohol and drug treatment facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in establishing the individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other type 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 may be used to cover the costs of drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might be eligible for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only inside the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some form of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs. Individuals may have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab program that is within their network of providers and there may be other limitations like how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a quality program they prefer and consult with a treatment specialist to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain drug abuse rehab services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some limitations as to the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before beginning rehab so that it is clear the length of time and individual can remain in the treatment center of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option made available from numerous drug and alcohol treatment programs in an effort to help individuals pay for rehab where this might not have been possible initially. As an example, one client's price for rehab could be different and lower than another individual whose finances are better making them more prepared to spend the money for full expense of rehab. Registrars take into consideration variables apart from income including number of dependents to determine the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
