Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a number of settings with various rehabilitation lengths and plans to suit the varying needs of clients with any kind of and level of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being covered by many insurance companies, there's no need to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anybody who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of intensity of care, for the reason that individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to remain in a rehabilitation program while undergoing rehabilitation services. While this may seem perfect it will not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many people in rehabilitation need to have a successful rehabilitation.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders in many cases are given the choice or ordered to rehabilitation as a term of their sentencing. Often times, the offender can pick which rehabilitation program they would like to attend. Upon successful completion, DUI and DWI offenders benefit from reduced sentencing options to be able to move forward in their lives without getting penalized any more.

Medicaid

Some treatment programs will take Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present another form of private health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality treatment program which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehab facility.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some form of drug and alcohol treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment facilities. Individuals may have to take part in a drug rehab program which is in their network of providers and there can be other limitations such as the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a good facility they prefer and meet with a treatment specialist to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular substance abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs and also partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some limitations as to the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before beginning rehabilitation so that it's clear the length of time and individual can stay in the rehab facility of preference.
