Drug Treatment Help Request

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a variety of settings and with various treatment lengths and plans to suit the varying demands of clients with any type of and degree of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being paid by many insurance companies, there's no need to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab services in terms of intensity of care, as the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to stay in a treatment facility while undergoing rehab services. Although this may appear perfect it may not provide the required change of environment than a lot of people in rehabilitation require to have a productive rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can select whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many individuals face. In addition, treatment facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present any other form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may choose to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehabilitation facility which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug rehabilitation centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in establishing the person's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only in the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities. Individuals may have to participate in a drug rehabilitation facility that is inside their network of providers and there could be other limitations for example just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a good program they like and meet with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular substance abuse rehab services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities as well as partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some restrictions concerning the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it is clear how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility available from a number of drug rehab centers in an effort to help individuals afford treatment where this may not have been doable originally. As an example, one client's price for rehabilitation could possibly be different and less than another person whose financial situation is better making them more prepared to spend the money for full expense of rehab. Registrars take into account other factors aside from income including amount of dependents to determine the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
