Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services regarding intensity of care, because the individual can keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehabilitation facility while receiving rehabilitation services. Even if this may seem ideal it will not provide the required change of surroundings than many individuals in rehab require to have a successful rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use due to the challenges their impairment impose on them. While detection of this issue can sometimes be hard among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL along with other assistance services intended for them when drug abuse rehab is needed. Aside from ASL, such services may include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are receiving the support they need in alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals really have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many men and women encounter. In addition, rehab programs will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present some other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehabilitation center that will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug and alcohol treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with setting up the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation 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 expense of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only in the state which provides 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 treatment service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug treatment facilities. Individuals could have to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment program that's inside their network of providers and there might be other restrictions such as the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a good program they like and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some limitations concerning the length of time a stay in inpatient drug treatment is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered before you start treatment so that it is clear how much time and individual can stay in the rehabilitation center of choice.
