Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services with regards to level of care, because the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of needing to remain in a treatment program while receiving treatment services. Even though this may seem ideal it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many individuals in rehab require to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab facilities accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present any other type of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehab program which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. If someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only within the state which provides the insurance coverage.
