Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in several settings and with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to suit the various demands of clients with any kind of and degree of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being included in many insurance companies, you shouldn't have to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

Detoxification

Detoxification from drugs is a course of action which can be made much more manageable and safely overseen when in a professional detox or drug rehab facility. Sometimes detoxification isn't without risk, and even with good intentions people who proceed through detoxification independently in an effort to get sober may very well be putting their health as well as their lives at risk. It is always better to seek out detoxification services inside a professional program to avoid such hazards as well as have a smooth transition from detoxification to rehab in a top quality drug treatment program.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anyone that needs to be safely managed through detox services when seriously addicted to drugs, or who needs a broader spectrum of care such as somebody who has a dual diagnosis so also requires mental health solutions as part of their rehab process. You will find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services offered.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but individuals actually have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present another type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals might want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality treatment facility which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in setting up the individual's rehab strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just 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 can be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If a person doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could qualify for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only within the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some type of drug treatment service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab facilities. Individuals may have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility that's inside their network of providers and there may be other limitations like how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a quality center they prefer and speak with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some restrictions regarding just how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before beginning rehab so that it's clear how much time and individual can remain in the rehab program of preference.
