Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in many different settings and with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to suit the varying demands of clients with any sort of and degree of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential centers now being covered by many insurance companies, there is no need to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions regarding intensity of care, since the individual can maintain their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to be in a rehabilitation program while undergoing rehab services. Even though this may appear perfect it may not provide the required change of surroundings than a lot of people in treatment require to experience a productive rehab.

Women

Women need quality treatment in rehab but might also require special awareness of the unique challenges they face for their gender. Women and men not only face different and unique challenges in life due to gender, but also may abuse alcohol and drugs for very different reasons. alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs which appeal to women and the distinctive and unique needs that women face can help significantly on a women's path to long term abstinence and a higher quality of life.

Men

Just as men and women encounter varying and unique challenges in everyday life that happen to be specific to their gender, women and men may also encounter unique challenges in treatment which are gender specific, and that's why a program specifically designed with these unique needs and obstacles at heart can be quite ideal for someone seeking a powerful rehab option.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders in many cases are given the choice or ordered to treatment as part of sentencing. In many cases, the offender can choose which rehabilitation facility they would like to enroll in. Upon successful completion, DUI and DWI offenders can take advantage of reduced sentencing options to enable them to move ahead in their lives without having to be penalized any more.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but individuals really have a much more leverage due to the fact they can select whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter. In addition, rehab centers will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation facilities will take Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present any other type of private health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality treatment program that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug and alcohol rehab programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in establishing the person's rehab strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare 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 doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only within the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug and alcohol rehab service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities. Individuals could possibly have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab center that's inside their network of providers and there may be other limitations including the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a good facility they like and meet with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain drug abuse treatment solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some limitations regarding how long a stay in inpatient drug treatment is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it's clear how long and individual can remain in the rehabilitation facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option available from numerous drug and alcohol treatment programs in an effort to help individuals pay for treatment where this may not have been doable originally. As an example, one client's price for treatment might be different and lower than someone else whose finances are better which makes them better able to spend the money for full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars take into consideration additional factors in addition to income including number of dependents to determine the final cost using the sliding scale.
