Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a variety of settings along with various rehabilitation lengths and plans to accommodate the varying needs of clients with any kind of and degree of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being covered by many insurance companies, you don't have to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services in terms of intensity of care, because the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to be in a treatment program while receiving rehabilitation services. Although this might appear perfect it may not provide the required change of surroundings than lots of people in treatment need to have a productive rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people face. Likewise, rehab programs will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation facilities will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present another form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality treatment center which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at alcohol and drug rehab centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in setting up the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some sort of alcohol and drug treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab programs. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program which is in their network of providers and there might be other restrictions including the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a good program they like and speak with a treatment specialist to determine if their insurance covers it.

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

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

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility available from numerous drug and alcohol treatment facilities in order to help clients pay for rehabilitation where this might not have been doable originally. By way of example, one client's price for treatment may be different and somebody else whose finances are better making them better able to pay for the full expense of rehab. Registrars take into account additional factors aside from income including number of dependents to ascertain the final cost and using the sliding scale.
